Mill Bronze Bearing

DESCRIPTION

Good bearing design involves three fundamental elements: understanding the service environment, designing for proper lubrication and selecting the best bearing material for the job. Accurately assessing expected service conditions cannot be overemphasized; it is the basis for all subsequent decisions.
Creating or at least identifying the lubrication mode in which the bearing will operate is equally important. Sometimes the mode can be established through design; other times it is simply dictated by operating conditions.

DESIGN FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES

– A low coefficient of friction versus hard shaft materials,
– Good wear behavior against steel journals (scoring resistance),
– The ability to absorb and discard small contaminant particles (embedibility),
– The ability to adapt and adjust to the shaft roughness and misalignment (conformability),
– High compressive strength,
– High fatigue strength,
– Corrosion resistance,
– Low shear strength (at the bearing-to shaft interface),
– Structural uniformity, and
– Reasonable cost and ready availability.
