What is water pump bearings?



Description 

Water pump bearings are simple and affordable; they can have either two rows of ball bearings or one row of ball bearings and one row of roller bearings, each well-spaced to ensure a longer life and their capacity to withstand higher radial loads. 

Advantages

The bearing is pre-lubricated with water-repellent grease which eliminates the need for maintenance, and is subjected to a special heat treatment during its production.

Special technical features

A shaft, which protrudes on both sides, is used instead of an inner ring, with the pulley mounted on one side and the pump impeller on the other.

Water pump bearings are used in various applications, for example:

* automotive engines;
* trucks;
* tractors;
* ship engines;
* etc.

Ceramic Hybrid Bearing



Ceramic Hybrid Bearings have Steel races and Ceramic Balls. Ceramic Balls are suitable for applications where high loads, high speeds and extreme temperatures are factors. Long life and the need for minimal lubrication make this material appropriate for extreme applications. Ceramic is non-porous, non-magnetic, non corrosive and lighter than steel. In ball form, ceramic balls are also harder than steel and because ceramic balls are non-porous they are virtually frictionless and capable of spinning faster than steel balls.

Ceramic Balls are usually made of following materials:

  • Silicon Nitride (SiN4)
  • Alumina Oxide (Al2O3)
  • Zirconia Oxide (ZrO2)
  • Silicon Carbide (SiC)

Because ceramic is a glass like surface it has an extremely low coefficient of friction and is ideal for applications seeking to reduce friction. Ceramic balls require less lubrication and have a greater hardness than steel balls which will contribute to increased bearing life. Thermal properties are better than steel balls resulting in less heat generation at high speeds.

Ceramic Hybrid Bearing Benefits


  • High loads, high speeds and extreme temperatures are factors
  • Increased bearing life and decreased down time
  • Minimal need for lubrication

Ceramic Hybrid Bearing Applications


Ceramic hybrid bearings are widely used in electric motors, aerospace applications, performance racing vehicles, laboratory equipment, under water applications and more. Any application that requires higher speeds, lower friction and longer life are ideal for ceramic hybrid bearings.

Ceramic Hybrid Bearing Styles and Sizes


Ceramic hybrid bearings are available in variety of sizes and styles.

Full Ceramic Bearings



Full Ceramic Bearings have races and balls that are made entirely of ceramic material and are superior to common steel bearings in many ways. Ceramic is the perfect material for any application seeking to achieve higher RPM’s, reduce overall weight or for extremely harsh environments where high temperatures and corrosive substances are present.

Full Ceramic Bearings are usually made of following materials:

  • Silicon Nitride (SiN4)
  • Alumina Oxide (Al2O3)
  • Zirconia Oxide (ZrO2)
  • Silicon Carbide (SiC)

Because ceramic is a glass like surface it has an extremely low coefficient of friction and is ideal for applications seeking to reduce friction. Ceramic balls require less lubrication and have a greater hardness than steel balls which will contribute to increased bearing life. Thermal properties are better than steel balls resulting in less heat generation at high speeds.

Full Ceramic Bearing Benefits

  • Will not corrode or rust
  • 2/3 the weight of steel
  • Resistant to resist acids, alkali, blood, salt and water
  • Extremely low coefficient of friction and thermal expansion
  • Lower friction results in less energy consumed
  • Operating Temperature from as low as (-85°C) up to (+ 900°C)


Full Ceramic Bearing Applications

Full Ceramic bearings are used in specialty applications like chemical baths, vacuum environments, semiconductor manufacturing, food processing industries and more. Any extreme environment that requires non-corrosive, non-conductive or non-magnetic bearings is ideal for full ceramic bearings.

Full Ceramic Bearing Styles and Sizes

Full Ceramic bearings are available in variety of sizes and styles。

Bearing Types and Tolerance Class


Bearing tolerances and permissible values for the boundary dimensions and running accuracy of bearings are specified. These values are prescribed in JIS B 1514 "tolerances for rolling bearings." (These JIS standards are based on ISO standards.)

Bearing tolerances are standardized by classifying bearings into the following six classes (accuracy in tolerances becomes higher in the order described): 0, 6X, 6, 5, 4 and 2.

Do You Know How to Correctly Mount Rod Ends?


Do you know how to mount a Rod End?
Rod Ends consist of an eye-shaped head with integral shank forming a housing and a standard Spherical Plain Bearing, a spherical plain bearing inner ring, or a spherical plain bearing inner ring and a sliding layer between the bore of the head and the inner ring. As a rule, rod ends are available with left or right-hand female or male threads.
To facilitate mounting, the ends of pins or shafts and the edges of housing bores should have a lead chamfer of 10° to 20°.  The bearings can be more easily pressed into position and there is little risk of damage to the mating surfaces being caused by skewing of the bearing.
When mounting spherical plain bearings with a fractured or two-part outer ring, it is essential that the joint should be positioned at 90? to the main load direction; otherwise the service life will be shortened, particularly under heavy loads. Also, the bearing’s lubrication holes will be placed in the load zone, allowing lubricant distribution where it is needed most.
Bearing rings should NEVER be hammered into place. Only apply mounting forces onto the ring that is being mounted (i.e. force on outer ring if being pressed into a housing, force on inner ring if pressed onto a shaft). NEVER apply mounting forces though the bearing’s sliding surfaces, this will damage the bearing and will severely decrease its service life. In the event that the bearing has a press fit on both the inner and outer rings, a special tool should be made to allow pressing of both components simultaneously.
Other ways of mounting rod ends with the facilitation of heat or refrigeration, or with the use of adhesives may be possible also.

How to Measuring and Choosing the right bearing types?

When you need to replace bearings on equipment, it's important to take care to ensure that you know the exact bearing you need. The following guide will help you to identify the type of bearing you need, and get an understanding of the different types available.
Checking the reference number
The quickest, simplest way to be able to determine which bearing you need is to look at the reference number. Most modern bearings have this reference number engraved by laser on the actual bearings themselves, but these are often rubbed off over time due to wear and tear. If you aren't able to read the reference number you require, then it may be necessary to measure it manually.
Measuring bearings
This is the process you will have to undertake if it isn't possible to read a bearing reference number. It's vital that you determine the correct type accurately, so there's little margin for error here.
The best way to accurately measure the dimensions of a bearing manually is to use a tool called a vernier caliper. If you don't have one of these, it is possible to simply use a ruler, just take extra care to ensure you are measuring precisely.
The dimensions you need to determine for a bearing are the width, the diameter of the inside and the diameter of the outside.
Once these dimensions have been accurately measured for the bearing, you need to find the appropriate bearing to purchase. The three main kinds of bearing are as follows: roller bearings; ball bearings; needle bearings.
Roller bearings
A roller bearing is a form of rolling-element bearing that utilises cylindrical rollers to keep the bearing's moving parts separated. Its purpose is to limit rotational friction while supporting radial and axial loads.
Ball bearings
A ball bearing is another rolling-element bearing, but it uses balls to separate the bearing races instead of cylindrical rollers. It also helps to minimise friction while supporting radial and axial loads.
Needle bearings
A needle bearing is another take on the rolling concept, this time using a series of long, thin cylinders as rollers which have a resemblance to needles. Once again, their function is to minimise friction on a rotating surface.
Using bearing suffixes
Once you have collected all the dimensions of your bearing by measuring, either with a vernier caliper or a ruler, you can use them to perform a search to find the correct bearing for your needs.
With the correct bearing identified based on measurements, there are further options to choose from. Firstly, all bearings have a seal that covers either side of the unit, which can be identified by a suffix. If the suffix reads ZZ or 2Z, the bearing has two metal shields. If it reads 2RS1, 2RSR or DDU then it has two rubber seals.
Furthermore, all bearings are given a clearance value. This feature gives the bearing space for expansion in the area between the bearing races. It thus adds a limited amount of play between the two rings.
This is useful, for example, if a bearing is liable to get hot when in use. The built-up heat will require room to escape, otherwise, there is a risk that the bearing might fail. The following markings indicate how much clearance a bearing has:
  • C4: This means the bearing has the greatest clearance.
  • C3: This means the clearance is above the international standard.
  • No Marking: This indicates the clearance is standard.
  • C2: The clearance here is below the international standard.
When measuring and choosing your bearing, it is vital that you are precise. If the reference number is illegible, then it's down to your measuring to ensure the correct bearing size is identified. If you follow the instructions in this article, you will identify your bearing accurately and be able to choose the right replacement when shopping online.
