  • How to Clean the Skateboard Bearings?

    Bearings play a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth operation of various machinery, including skateboards. Cleaning these tiny components not only boosts their performance but also prolongs their lifespan. In this guide, we'll zero in on how to clean bearings, especially those in skateboards. Determine whether the bearing needs to be cleaned: 1.Observe the grease residue: After cleaning, carefully observe the grease residue in the inner and outer ring raceways, rolling elements and cage gaps of the bearing. Use a clean feeler gauge to scrape out the grease, apply it to the fingertips and rub it. If there is a rustling sound, it means that the bearing is not clean and needs to be cleaned again. 2.Check the running flexibility: After cleaning, pinch the inner ring of the bearing and turn the outer ring to make it rotate horizontally. If the running process is flexible, without obstruction or jumping, it means that the cleaning is qualified. 3.Understand the importance of cleanliness: Cleanliness is an important factor affecting the performance and service life of bearings. Regular cleaning can reduce wear, extend service life, and ensure safe operation of equipment. In summary, by observing the grease residue, checking the running flexibility and understanding the importance of cleanliness, you can determine whether the bearing needs to be cleaned. Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to maintain the best performance and extend the service life of bearings. To clean skateboard bearings, follow these steps: 1.

  • Skateboard Bearing 608 Bearing

    ‌Skateboard bearings‌ are an important part of skateboards. Their main function is to connect the wheels and brackets to ensure that the wheels can rotate smoothly. The design and material of skateboard bearings have an important impact on their performance. [video width="2120" height="1080" mp4="https://www.xzballbearing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11月20日.mp4"][/video] Basic components of skateboard bearings Skateboard bearings are composed of the following main parts:                       Seals: Prevent dust and other debris from entering the bearing to extend its service life. ‌Rolling element‌: Usually steel balls or ceramic balls, each set of bearings contains 7 rolling elements. ‌Cage: Separate the rolling elements evenly to prevent them from falling off. ‌Inner and outer rings‌: The inner and outer rings provide grooves for the rolling elements to roll. Materials and types of skateboard bearings Skateboard bearings are mainly made of two materials: metal and ceramic. Metal bearings are usually made of bearing steel, which is cost-effective but has poor rust resistance; stainless steel bearings have good rust resistance, but are more expensive; ceramic bearings are composed of ceramic balls and metal shells, which have self-lubricating functions and high wear resistance, but are the most expensive.                                     Grades and selection criteria for skateboard bearings The grades of skateboard bearings are usually expressed in ABEC (Annular Bearing Engineering Committee) standards, from ABEC-1 to ABEC-9. The higher the grade, the higher the precision and speed. However, the ABEC rating standard does not take into account factors such as impact force and side-slip torque in skateboarding, so some skateboard companies do not use the ABEC standard. Care and maintenance of skateboard bearings In order to keep skateboard bearings in good condition, they need to be cleaned and oiled regularly. When cleaning, remove the bearings from the wheels, wipe off the oil and stains with a paper towel, and clean them once a week. Oiling is required after cleaning. You can use cooking oil or special lubricants, and avoid using corrosive liquids such as gasoline. In summary, skateboard bearings are not only key components of skateboards, but their materials, grades, and maintenance methods will directly affect the performance and user experience of skateboards.

  • What is the Linear Beairng?

    1.Working principle of linear bearings: The working principle of linear bearings is to support and guide mechanical parts through the movement of rolling elements between the bearing sleeve and the bearing seat. The rolling elements roll cyclically along the track groove formed by the housing and the retainer, so that the linear bearing makes linear reciprocating motion relative to the guide shaft. The rolling of the rolling elements can achieve more efficient motion with low friction resistance. 2.Structural composition of linear bearings: Linear bearings are mainly composed of bearing outer rings, retainers, steel balls and sealing rings. The bearing outer ring is the main part of the linear bearing and bears the load from the outside; the retainer is used to fix the position of the steel balls to prevent the steel balls from colliding with each other during movement; the steel balls are the rolling elements of the linear bearings, rolling between the bearing outer ring and the guide shaft to achieve linear motion; the sealing ring plays a role in dustproof and waterproofing, ensuring that the linear bearing can work normally in harsh environments. 3.Features of linear bearings: Linear bearings have the advantages of low friction, low noise, low inertia force, and corrosion resistance. Since the load-bearing ball is in point contact with the bearing outer sleeve, the load is small. The steel ball rotates with minimal friction resistance, so that high-precision smooth movement can be achieved. Linear bearings are widely used in electronic machinery, printing machinery, material handling machinery and various precision measuring instruments. There are many specifications and models of linear bearings, the most common of which are LM, LME, LIN-11 and LIN-12 series. The LM series is mainly used in Asia and Southeast Asia, using metric dimensions and an outer diameter tolerance of h7. The LME series is mostly used in Europe and the United States, using imperial or metric dimensions, and an outer diameter tolerance of g6. LIN-11 represents the European standard plastic linear bearing, which is installed with a retaining spring limiter. The LIN-12 series is a narrow design, which is directly installed with its outer diameter and the mounting seat hole in a tight fit to save installation space. 4.Specific parameters Specific parameters include model, number of ball rows, main dimensions, radial runout, basic rated load, inner diameter, outer diameter, length, outer stop groove width, dynamic and static rated load, etc. For example, the parameters of LM6UU are: 4 ball rows, 6mm inner diameter, 17mm outer diameter, 13.5mm length, 1.1kgf dynamic rated load, 27kgf static rated load, etc. The installation methods of linear bearings mainly include screw fixing, clamping fixing, locking device fixing and welding fixing. ‌‌ ‌5.Screw fixing‌: The linear bearing…

  • Turntable Bearings VS. Slewing Bearings

    Crossed Roller Bearings Crossed roller bearings are crucial in high-precision turntables because of their high load-bearing capacity and rigidity. These bearings have rollers that cross each other at 90-degree angles. This special design lets them handle all kinds of loads at the same time while working accurately. These bearings are made from strong materials like AISI 52100. They're compact yet can handle heavy loads without bending much. They're great for space-constrained applications in medical and robotics fields where precision is key.                   The difference between slewing bearings and crossed roller bearings Structure, application fields, performance characteristics ‌Slewing bearings and crossed roller bearings have significant differences in structure, application fields and performance characteristics. ‌ Structural differences ‌Slewing bearing‌: It is usually composed of a worm, a slewing bearing, a housing, a motor and other components. It looks like a plate, so it is also called a "slewing bearing". It can withstand large axial load, radial load and overturning moment at the same time, and is suitable for mechanical equipment that withstands huge overturning moment and performs relative rotational motion‌. ‌Crossed roller bearing‌: The inner ring is divided, the outer ring rotates, and the rolling elements are arranged vertically with each other on the V-shaped groove. This structure enables crossed roller bearings to withstand radial and axial loads at the same time, and can be assembled in all directions, making it suitable for high-precision, high-speed application scenarios‌. Differences in application areas ‌Slewing bearings‌: Widely used in heavy machinery and equipment such as truck cranes, railway cranes, port cranes, excavators, CT machines, tanks, etc., as well as in situations that require high load-bearing capacity and complex motion control‌. ‌Crossed roller bearings‌: Mainly used in high-precision, high-speed equipment such as high-speed machine tools, precision rotary indexing tables, vertical and horizontal boring machines, vertical grinders, rotating cameras, industrial robot joints, CNC turntables, etc.‌ . Differences in performance characteristics ‌Slewing Bearing‌: It has high load-bearing capacity, high efficiency and good sealing performance, and is suitable for fields that require high working life. It has a high level of precision, low radial runout and axial runout, and low operating noise, making it suitable for high-precision and low-noise working environments. ‌Crossed roller bearing‌: It has the characteristics of high rotation efficiency, low heat dissipation, and low grease consumption. Due to its compact structure, it can withstand multi-directional loads and is suitable for applications where space is limited but high precision and rigidity are required. In summary, slewing bearings and crossed roller bearings have their own advantages in structure, application fields and performance characteristics.

  • Slewing Bearing Slewing bearing is also called turntable bearing, and some people also call it: rotating bearing, slewing bearing. Introduction Slewing bearing is a large bearing that can withstand comprehensive loads, and can withstand large axial, radial loads and overturning moments at the same time. Slewing bearings generally have mounting holes, internal or external gears, lubricating oil holes and sealing devices, so that the main machine design structure is compact, easy to guide and easy to maintain. There are four series of slewing bearings: gearless, externally geared and internally geared four-point contact ball bearings, double-row angular contact ball bearings, cross cylindrical roller bearings, cross tapered roller bearings and three-row cylindrical roller composite bearings. Among them, four-point contact ball bearings have higher static load capacity, cross cylindrical rollers have higher dynamic load capacity, and the pre-interference of cross tapered roller bearings can make the bearings have greater support rigidity and rotation accuracy. The three-row cylindrical roller combination bearings are led to the height of the bearing due to the increase in load-bearing capacity. Various forces are borne by different raceways. Therefore, under the same force, the bearing diameter can be greatly reduced, so it has the characteristic of making the host more compact. It is a slewing bearing with high load-bearing capacity. Slewing bearings are widely used in large slewing devices of lifting machinery, mining machinery, construction machinery, port machinery, ship machinery and equipment, as well as high-precision radar machinery and missile launchers. At the same time, various special structure slewing bearings can also be designed, developed and produced according to the specific requirements of users. Basic Structure Slewing drive is usually composed of worm, slewing bearing, housing, motor and other components. Since the core components use slewing bearings, they can simultaneously withstand axial force, radial force, and tipping moment. There are many forms, but the structural composition is basically the same. From left to right (upper part): 1. Outer ring (with or without teeth) 2. Sealing belt 3. Rolling element (ball or roller) 4. Oil nozzle From left to right (lower part): 1. Blockage 2. Blocking pin 3. Inner ring (with or without teeth) 4. Isolation block or cage 5.

  • Linear Bearing

    Linear motion system: Metal linear bearings are a kind of linear motion system produced at low cost, which are used for unlimited stroke and cylindrical shaft. They are widely used in sliding parts of industrial machinery such as precision machine tools, textile machinery, food packaging machinery, printing machinery, etc. Introduction: Linear bearings are a kind of linear motion system, which are used for linear stroke and cylindrical shaft. Since the load-bearing ball is in point contact with the bearing outer sleeve, the steel ball rolls with the minimum friction resistance, so the linear bearing has low friction and is relatively stable. It does not change with the bearing speed, and can obtain smooth linear motion with high sensitivity and high precision. Linear bearing consumption also has its limitations. The most important thing is that the impact load capacity of the bearing is poor, and the load-bearing capacity is also poor. Secondly, the linear bearing has large vibration and noise when moving at high speed. The automatic selection of linear bearings is included. Linear bearings are widely used in sliding parts of industrial machinery such as precision machine tools, textile machinery, food packaging machinery, printing machinery, etc. Since the load-bearing ball is in point contact with the bearing, the load is small. The steel ball rotates with very small friction resistance, so that high-precision smooth motion can be obtained. Plastic linear bearings are a kind of linear motion system with self-lubricating characteristics. The biggest difference between them and metal linear bearings is that metal linear bearings are rolling friction, and the bearing and the cylindrical shaft are in point contact, so this type is suitable for low-load high-speed motion; while plastic linear bearings are sliding friction, and the bearing and the cylindrical shaft are in surface contact, so this type is suitable for high-load medium- and low-speed motion.           Features: Linear bearings are used in conjunction with hardened linear drive shafts. A system for infinite linear motion. Because the load ball and the hardened drive shaft are in point contact, the allowable load is small, but during linear motion, the friction resistance is minimal, the precision is high, and the motion is fast. Classification: (1) Standard type, clearance adjustment type linear bearings, open type linear bearings, extended type linear bearings, general type linear bearings (2) Flange type linear bearings can be divided into: round flange type, square flange type, elliptical flange type, guide round flange type, guide square flange type, guide elliptical flange type, and extended round flange type. According to specifications: It is divided into two series, namely LM and LME series. Its code LM series is used in Asia, Southeast Asian countries, Japan, South Korea,…

  • Turbocharger Bearing

    Turbocharger rolling bearing parameters and uses               1 Structure and parameters     Picture 1 1.1 Contact angle The size of the contact angle affects the orientation of the bearing to radial load and axial load. An excessively large contact angle will increase the roll-to-roll ratio, especially at high speeds, which will cause the bearing to heat up and wear severely, seriously affecting the efficiency and service life of the rolling bearing. The rotating shaft of the automotive turbocharger reaches 140,000 to 170,000 revolutions per minute in the working state. Based on previous design experience, the contact angle of the rolling bearing of RF708 is selected as 15° (Figure 1). 1.2 Ball diameter and number of balls When the ball diameter is constant, the more balls there are, the smaller the contact stress between the rolling element and the ferrule and the larger the roll-to-roll ratio. The ball diameter and the number of balls have a significant effect on the size of the cage beam. Excessive ball diameter and excessive number of balls will lead to a reduction in the size of the cage center diameter beam, resulting in a reduction in its strength. Considering the ultra-high-speed operating conditions of the RF708 bearing, especially in micro-turbojet engines, the thermal load of the bearing is the main factor affecting the bearing life, so the ball diameter is finally set to 3.969mm, and the number of balls for high-speed is 8 (Picture 2), and the number of balls for heavy load is 9.               Picture 2   1.3 Outer ring structure In order to facilitate installation, the outer ring adopts the form of positioning at both ends of the outer side. The two ends of the side are matched with the supercharger seat ring, and the radius of the middle part is slightly smaller than the matching part at both ends. The standard length of the outer ring is 41.65mm (Figure 1, Figure 3), and the shape is determined according to the structure of the matching turbocharger. In view of the fact that the lubricating oil cannot enter the bearing through both ends of the bearing, oil grooves are designed on both sides of the outer ring of the bearing, and oil holes are opened radially in the grooves. The lubricating oil is sprayed to the parts that need lubrication through the oil holes. Under the condition of ensuring that the oil injection is as uniform as possible, the number of oil injection holes is set to 2.According to the outer ring structure and processing technology, the angle between the axis of the oil injection hole and the axis of…

  • 2024 March 3rd Week XZBRG News Recommendation – NTN Supplies Bearings to “H3 Launch Vehicle”

    Supply all bearings for turbo pumps with ultra-high speed rotational performance under cryogenic environment NTN Corporation (hereafter, NTN) supplies all bearings for turbo pumps of engine in the second H3 Launch Vehicle (H3TF2: Test Flight No.2) launched from Tanegashima Space Center at 9:22:55 (JST) on February 17. In order for a rocket mounted with satellites or other objects to fly, it is necessary to burn liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen at high pressure to inject a large amount of gas. Turbo pumps feed fuel of liquid hydrogen and oxidizer of liquid oxygen oxidizer into the combustion chamber of the engine by rotating inner impeller at high speed. Bearings used in the impeller support ultra-high speed rotation of rocket that is comparable to a jet aircraft with a dmn value*1 of approx. 2.8 million even in cryogenic environment of liquid hydrogen (-253℃) and liquid oxygen (-183℃). General lubricants including oil and grease got frozen at cryogenic temperatures, so the bearings adopt NTN's proprietary solid lubricant that demonstrates lubricating performance even at cryogenic temperatures. In addition, the bearings also use high-strength retainer made from reinforced fiberglass to meet these harsh environment. The engine of the “H3 Launch Vehicle” has a higher driving force than one of the preceding model of “H-IIA Launch Vehicle,” in order to launch satellites of various sizes. Thus, each component is required to have high rigidity, and the bearings for “H3 Launch Vehicle” turbo pumps are also designed to have larger diameters so that they can receive greater preload. As bearings become larger in diameter, the centrifugal force of balls used in bearings becomes larger. For this reason, NTN applies rolling elements (balls) made from ceramics for bearings. It is the first time to apply ceramics balls for commercial rockets produced in Japan. The use of ceramics balls, which is more lightweight than balls made from metal, suppresses the centrifugal force of balls during rotating and achieves high speed rotational performance with dmn value 2.88 million. NTN has been supplying bearings to a number of rockets produced in Japan for many years, including “H-I Launch Vehicle” launched in 1986, “H-II Launch Vehicle” and “H-IIA Launch Vehicle.” As NTN products are highly evaluated in the aviation field as well, NTN has been supplying bearings to major global jet engine manufacturers. NTN will continue to contribute to the development of the aerospace field by developing and providing high quality and high performance products used in space.

  • 2024 March 2nd Week XZBRG News Recommendation – ABB IE5 SynRM Motor Provides Energy Efficiency and High-Power Output

    ABB has launched a new version its IE5 SynRM (synchronous reluctance motor) that combines the benefits of ultra-premium energy efficiency with highly effective liquid cooling. The new design sets a new benchmark for high power output and reliability in a compact footprint. Customers can use IE5 SynRM Liquid-cooled motors to save energy costs and cut emissions in new projects or as a drop-in replacement for less efficient motors. They are ideally suited to a wide range of industries including marine propulsion, rubber and plastics production, and food and beverage. A major advantage of the IE5 SynRM Liquid-cooled motors is that they are much more efficient than the traditional liquid-cooled induction motors in current use that offer significant potential for upgrading with energy-saving technology. Energy efficiency is crucial to optimizing the total cost of ownership (TCO) of an electric motor because the cost of the energy to run it throughout its life accounts for around 97 percent of a motor’s TCO, with the purchase cost accounting for about two percent. IE5 motors have 40 percent lower energy losses than commonly used IE3 motors. This makes the payback time for selecting an IE5 instead of an IE3 motor often less than one year. Reliability is improved by highly effective cooling combined with the cool SynRM rotor and cooling ribs on the bearing assembly that reduces the operating temperature of the bearings. This helps to increase the lifetime of this key component and reduce maintenance needs. The motors are robust, with tight seals to keep out moisture, dirt and dust, and a smooth outer surface to prevent dust build-up. This makes them perfect for demanding applications that require high power density where space is restricted such as marine propulsion systems and thrusters. Furthermore, the motors do not need fans or ventilation, so they do not disturb the surrounding air or release heat into the local environment. This is a major benefit in processes that are impacted by airflow, such as rubber and plastics production, and food and beverage applications like chocolate conche machines. With no fans, the motors also enhance the working environment by reducing noise levels. Stefan Floeck, division president IEC Low Voltage Motors, ABB, says: “ABB pioneered both SynRM technology and liquid cooling for induction motors. Now we have brought them together in our IE5 SynRM Liquid-cooled motor that enables customers to enjoy the benefits of ultra-premium efficiency in an even wider range of applications. It is yet another world-first for this series following the launch of our IE5 SynRM Increased Safety motor for hazardous areas.” (https://www.powertransmission.com) More About XZBRG: Xinzhou Bearing Industrial Inc. is one of the Custom Bearing Manufacturer and world wide Distributors of all types of Bearings,specializing in Ball,…

  • 2024 February 1st Week XZBRG News Recommendation – Bearing Design Considerations for Pumps and Compressors

    Loads, life, fits, material, and lubrication must all be evaluated to ensure optimal performance of turbomachinery. Pumps and compressors are ubiquitous in industrial settings. These machines can be found anywhere there is a need to transport liquids or circulate or compress gasses. Manufacturing, chemical processing, food and beverage, construction, mining, oil and gas, agriculture, and power generation industries all employ the use of turbomachinery. Reliability and minimizing downtime are critical in these applications. Rolling bearings are integral to the operation of pumps and compressors and must be able to withstand moderate to heavy loading and harsh operating environments. A wide variety of ball, roller, and needle bearings can be found in these machines; however, this article will focus on the most common type of bearing used, the deep groove ball bearing. Benefits of using deep groove ball bearings include the ability to handle high speeds and carry loads in the radial—and to a lesser extent—axial, directions. To ensure reliable and efficient operation, correct bearing selection is an essential step in the design process of pumps and compressors. It is important to perform an analysis of the components and operating conditions from both a static and dynamic perspective to gain a complete understanding of the loads (both magnitude and direction) the bearings will encounter in the application. Deep groove ball bearings are designed to primarily carry radial loads , but they can also support moderate axial loads as well. In most turbomachinery applications, bearings are subjected to both radial and axial, or combined, loading. Once the loading is understood, the basic bearing life is calculated and then adjusted if necessary. This adjusted life is then compared to the desired design life to determine if the bearing is suitable for the application. Lastly, specifications including shaft and housing fits, bearing material, and lubrication need to be determined. Bearing Load Ratings Manufacturers of ball bearings typically publish load ratings—both static (Cor) and dynamic (Cr)—for each bearing part number they produce. The static load rating, or static capacity, is the amount of load a non-rotating bearing can support without causing permanent deformation to its rings and/or balls. Industry standards specify that a total deformation of 0.0001 of the rolling element diameter (at the center of the most heavily loaded element) is acceptable for most bearing applications. The dynamic load rating, or dynamic capacity, is the amount of constant radial load a rotating bearing can withstand for one million revolutions. While the methods used to calculate load ratings vary from one manufacturer to the next, both the American Bearing Manufacturers Association (ABMA) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) have published equivalent standards related to load ratings and bearing life: ABMA Standard 9—Load Ratings and Fatigue Life…

  • 2024 January 4th Week XZBRG News Recommendation – KTM Duke 390: Overhauling brakes & replacing the rear wheel bearing

    Both KTM and Bajaj service centers did not have the new part so had to clean and reuse the old seal. BHPian SunnyBoi recently shared this with other enthusiasts Next up the rear brakes. I went to a Bajaj dealer and I got a seal kit for a pulsar. Pretty much all Bajaj and dukes use the same rear caliper so it should work, hopefully. I popped into the KTM dealership and got a couple of new front caliper bolts since the old ones looked tired. Once I was back home, I remembered I should have gotten a new battery belt as the one on the bike now was close to breaking. Oh well, there is always a next time. First step was taking off the wheel. I had never taken off a rear wheel before - I struggled a LOT with it. I just knew for some reason I'd suck at this and I did not disappoint myself heh. Hopefully, I don't ever have to remove the rear wheel again! Took off the old rotor and ABS ring. This is 9 years of muck hidden behind the rotor. Things weren't so clean on the other side as well. There was a TON of rubber powder? as well as melted rubber. With the wheels done, I focussed back on the caliper. I made sure I removed the pads and extended the piston as much as possible by pumping on the pedal as much as possible. I pulled out the caliper and found the insides pretty clean with only a few black flakes.
