Choosing the right linear bearing for your application requires careful consideration of the following factors:
To ensure optimal bearing performance and longevity, avoid these common mistakes:
Bearing Type | Load Capacity (kN) | Speed (m/s) |
---|---|---|
Ball Bearings | 1 - 100 | 0.5 - 5 |
Roller Bearings | 10 - 200 | 0.5 - 2 |
Slide Bearings | 100 - 2000 | 0 - 1 |
Bearing Type | Pros | Cons |
---|---|---|
Ball Bearings | Low friction, high precision | Limited load capacity |
Roller Bearings | High load capacity, low noise | Lower precision |
Slide Bearings | High load capacity, self-lubricating | Higher friction, potential for wear |
Material | Temperature Range (°C) | Chemical Resistance |
---|---|---|
Stainless Steel | -40 to +200 | Excellent |
Plastic (e.g., PTFE) | -40 to +120 | Limited |
Ceramic | -40 to +1000 | Excellent |
Linear bearings play a critical role in enabling precision linear motion in a wide range of applications. By carefully selecting the right bearing type and adhering to best practices, you can ensure optimal performance and maximize the lifespan of your bearings.
Remember to consult with an expert if you have complex or demanding linear motion requirements. With the right knowledge and attention to detail, linear bearings can empower your creations with smooth, precise, and reliable motion.
