Do you have any idea how those massive machinery must be handling the heavy loads and then also move smoothly, when things aren’t aligned perfectly? Well, the secret behind this lies within a specialized component known as spherical bearings and spherical roller bearings. These are the most versatile parts which play a keen role in a vast array of mechanical assemblies. Both of these are designed to support the movement between the two parts while also accommodating a certain degree of misalignment.
Types Offered by Yiqiu Bearing
Radial Spherical Plain Bearings
At Yiqiu Bearing, we are offering our customers a comprehensive range of radial spherical plain bearings, which are designed to accommodate significant misalignment while supporting the radical loads. Not just this, such bearings also feature an inner ring with a spherically ground outer surface and a corresponding outer ring with a concave spherical inner surface. Such bearings are often found in construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and even in varied industrial linkages.
Angular Contact Spherical Bearings
For those applications where radial and axial loads are required, Yiqiu Bearing often provides angular contact spherical bearings which are engineered with an inner as well as the outer rings. Such bearings are often used in machines where both the types of loads are present and where maintaining the alignment would be crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the application.
Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings
At Yiqiu Bearing, we are also offering spherical roller thrust bearings which are basically designed in order to handle the primary axial loads while still accommodating some degree of misalignment. Such bearings are crucial components in applications where heavy axial loads are required in order to support certain types of gearboxes, vertical pumps, and some heavy industrial machinery.
Split Spherical Roller Bearings
In order to address the needs and maintenance and replacement in large and difficult to access machines, we at Yiqiu Bearing often provide split spherical roller bearings. Such bearings are basically manufactured in halves and hence allows for the installation without removing the connected components such as gears and shafts.
Features and Benefits
Self-aligning Capability
One of the main advantages of spherical bearings including both the plain as well as the roller types offered by Yiqiu Bearing would be its inherent self-aligning capabilities. This is a feature that enables the bearing to accommodate the angular misalignment between the housing and the shaft. This adaptability simplifies installation while also minimizing the need for precise alignment of mating components.
Durability
One thing which is hallmarked at Yiqiu Bearing’s spherical bearing is the durability. Such bearings are engineered in order to withstand the heavy loads and demanding operating conditions. We are also committed towards the quality which gets translated to long service life. This kind of durability minimizes the frequency and need of replacement while enhancing the uptime for the machinery.
Load Capacity
At Yiqiu Bearing, we strive to design the spherical bearings in a way which offers superior radial and axial load resistance. The large contact area between the rolling elements and the raceways in the spherical roller bearings would probably enable for the efficient distribution of the heavy loads.
Vibration Reduction
In the rotating equipment, vibrations can be one of the biggest sources of noise, wear and also tarnished performance. That is why, at Yiqiu Bearing we contribute towards vibration reduction and enhanced stability. By ensuring a proper contact and load distribution, such bearings reduce the unwanted oscillations and at the same time contribute towards a more smooth and quiet operation of the machinery.
Low Maintenance
At Yiqiu Bearing, we do offer a low maintenance option for the spherical bearing which may include the sealed and greased designs. Also, this feature probably helps in retaining the lubricant within the bearing and ultimately prevents the ingress of contaminants like moisture, dirt and dust.
Applications
Heavy Machinery
The spherical bearings can be used in varied heavy machinery applications like loaders, excavators, cranes and bulldozers. These bearings are highly durable and at the same time accommodates load carrying capacity, making them indispensable components for ensuring safe and productive operation.
Gearboxes
Gearboxes are probably the most essential for power transmission in a wide range of industrial applications. The self-aligning feature of these bearings helps in compensating for any slight misalignments.
