Ceramic bearings for food conveyor

Bearings are fixed parts in conveying machinery. When other conveyor parts move relative to each other on the shaft, the parts used to maintain the central position of the shaft and control the movement are called conveyor bearings.

In terms of its function, it should be a support, that is, it is used for a conveyor bearing in a literal interpretation, but this is only a part of its function. The essence of support is to be able to bear radial loads. It can also be understood that it is used to fix the shaft. It is to fix the shaft so that it can only rotate, and control its axial and radial movement. The consequence of the conveyor motor without bearings is that it does not work at all. Because the shaft may move in any direction, and the motor requires that the shaft can only rotate. In theory, it is impossible to realize the function of transmission. Not only that, the conveyor bearing will also affect the transmission. In order to reduce this effect, good lubrication must be achieved on the bearing of the high-speed shaft. Some conveyor bearings are already lubricated, which is called Pre-lubricated bearings, and most of the bearings must have lubricating oil. When the load is running at high speed, the friction will not only increase the energy consumption, but even more terrible is that it is easy to damage the bearing. The argument to convert sliding friction into rolling friction is one-sided, because there is something called a conveyor sliding bearing.

According to the load direction it can bear, it can be divided into: ① Radial bearing, also known as radial bearing, bear radial load. ② Thrust bearing, also known as thrust bearing, bears axial load. ③ Radial thrust bearing, also known as radial thrust bearing, bears radial load and axial load at the same time. According to the different friction properties of the bearing work, it can be divided into two categories: sliding friction bearings (referred to as sliding bearings) and rolling friction bearings (referred to as conveyor rolling bearings).
