Roller Bearings Flashcards
Spherical roller bearings accommodate misalignment from?
0.5 degrees to 2 degrees
The contact type for roller bearings is what?
Line contact
Roller types are divided into 4 main categories:
Cylindrical, spherical, tapered, needle
Roller bearings are able to handle what kind of loads and what kind of impact or shock?
Heavy loads, high impact or shock
Of the 4 types of roller bearings, which has the highest radial load and speed capability?
Cylindrical bearings
What are the true limiting factors for a cylindrical bearing?
Heat generated, heat dissipated
The speed of a cylindrical roller bearing may be limited by several factors, list 5.
Construction of the bearing, heat dissipation, type of lube, length to diameter ratio, roller guidance
The two types of ways bearings can be mounted in a housing are what?
Fixed and floating bearings
Though roller bearings support more load than ball bearings, roller types are sensitive to what?
Misalignment
What are the two types of needle bearings?
Cage separated types and full compliment (drawn cup)
Features of needle bearings.
Heavy radial loads in a minimal amount of radial space
The construction of this bearing type consists of an inner and outer race with a plain or rolling element bearing between the races.
Cam type and load following bearings
What are cage separated type bearings used to accommodate ?
Higher speeds and more precision rolling
Other name for a full compliment style bearing?
Drawn cup needle bearing
What does floating bearing allow for?
Allows axial forces to pass through the bearing
