The functions and main functions of bearings


The role of bearings varies in different applications. For example, in a drone power heavy-load motor, by setting up top bearings, bottom bearings and bushings to work together on the central shaft, the bearing load can be effectively reduced, the bearing life can be extended, and the motor reliability and lightweight requirements can be improved‌。

The main functions and functions of bearings include supporting mechanical rotating bodies, reducing friction coefficient during movement, and ensuring its rotation accuracy. Specifically, the functions of bearings are as follows:

Supporting mechanical rotary body: Bearings can support and fix rotating components in machinery to ensure that they remain stable during work.

‌Reduce friction‌: By reducing direct contact between rotating components, the bearing significantly reduces the coefficient of friction during movement, thereby reducing wear and energy loss.

Ensure rotation accuracy‌: The design and use of bearings can ensure the accuracy and stability of mechanical components when rotating, reducing vibration and noise.

Classification of bearings

According to the friction properties of moving elements, bearings are mainly divided into two categories: rolling bearings and sliding bearings. Rolling bearings have been standardized and serialized, but compared with sliding bearings, their radial size is larger, their vibration and noise are also higher, and their prices are higher. Rolling bearings are generally composed of four parts: outer ring, inner ring, rolling element and cage, and sometimes include sealing and lubricating oil.
