2023-08-22

Thrust roller bearing is a commonly used mechanical element, which can bear axial load and small radial load, and has high speed and low friction coefficient. This article will introduce the structure, working principle, application fields and maintenance of thrust roller bearings.

First of all, the thrust roller bearing is composed of several main parts such as outer ring, rolling element, cage and inner ring. Among them, the rolling element is the main part that supports and transmits the load, and it is composed of rollers and cages. The function of the cage is to maintain the relative position of the rollers so that they can be evenly distributed around the rolling elements. The outer ring and the inner ring are respectively connected with the shaft and the seat to bear axial and radial loads.

The working principle of the thrust roller bearing is to use the rollers to roll in the rolling body, thereby reducing friction and energy loss. When the axial load acts on the shaft, the thrust roller bearing can bear a large load and transmit the load through the rolling of the rollers. Thrust roller bearings have a larger contact area than other types of bearings and are therefore able to share greater loads.

Thrust roller bearings have many advantages, making them widely used in various fields. First of all, thrust roller bearings can withstand large axial loads and are suitable for mechanical equipment that needs to withstand high forces. Second, thrust roller bearings have a low coefficient of friction, thereby reducing energy loss when rotating at high speeds. In addition, thrust roller bearings also have high rigidity and small axial clearance, which can maintain the running accuracy and stability of mechanical equipment.

When using thrust roller bearings, some maintenance issues need to be paid attention to. First of all, the bearings should be lubricated before use to reduce friction and prolong service life. Secondly, it is necessary to ensure the matching accuracy between the inner and outer rings of the bearing and the seat during installation, so as to avoid eccentric load and excessive axial clearance. In addition, it is necessary to keep the bearing clean and sealed to prevent the entry of dust and impurities, which will affect the normal operation of the bearing.

In a word, thrust roller bearing is an important mechanical element, which has the ability to bear axial load and small radial load. It is simple in structure and reliable in operation, and is widely used in various fields, such as automobile industry, aerospace, ship engineering and so on. Through proper installation and maintenance, thrust roller bearings can prolong the service life and improve the reliability and stability of mechanical equipment.

How to deal with overheating of thrust ball bearings?

When the workpiece of the outer spherical thrust ball bearing is severely overheated, the grain size will become coarse, and the amount of iron wire in the steel will also increase, which will easily cause the thermal processing performance of the workpiece to deteriorate. When stainless steel companion parts or flange parts are overheated, orange peel-like surface defects are likely to occur. For large workpieces with overheated structures, forging can be used to refine the grains to eliminate defects, prevent orange peel-like surface defects in the workpiece during cold deformation, and improve the surface quality of the workpiece.
