Through to the above five questions analysis, may obtain these questions is does not have the sufficient reason existence the conclusion. May for avoid these questions to these questions research analyses the appearance indicating the direction. Although uses the best choice of material method not to be able to avoid having the product responsibility lawsuit, designs the personnel and the industry carries on the choice of material according to the suitable procedure, may greatly reduce the lawsuit the quantity.
May see from the above discussion, the choice material people should to the material nature, the characteristic and the processing method have comprehensive and the basic understanding.
5、extending bearing life
Bearings fail for a number of reasons,but the most common are misapplication,contamination,improper lubricant,shipping or handling damage,and misalignment. The problem is often not difficult to diagnose because a failed bearing usually leaves telltale signs about what went wrong.
However,while a postmortem yields good information,it is better to avoid the process altogether by specifying the bearing correctly in The first place.To do this,it is useful to review the manufacturers sizing guidelines and operating characteristics for the selected bearing.
The best way to handle bearing failures is to avoid them.This can be done in the selection process by recognizing critical performance characteristics.These include noise,starting and running torque,stiffness,nonrepetitive runout,and radial and axial play.In some applications, these items are so critical that specifying an ABEC level alone is not sufficient.
Torque requirements are determined by the lubricant,retainer,raceway quality(roundness cross curvature and surface finish),and whether seals or shields are used.Lubricant viscosity must be selected carefully because inappropriate lubricant,especially in miniature bearings,causes excessive torque.Also,different lubricants have varying noise characteristics that should be matched to the application. For example,greases produce more noise than oil.
Nonrepetitive runout(NRR)occurs during rotation as a random eccentricity between the inner and outer races,much like a cam action.NRR can be caused by retainer tolerance or eccentricities of the raceways and balls.Unlike repetitive runout, no compensation can be made for NRR.
NRR is reflected in the cost of the bearing.It is common in the industry to provide different bearing types and grades for specific applications.For example,a bearing with an NRR of less than 0.3um is used when minimal runout is needed,such as in disk—drive spindle motors.Similarly,machine—tool spindles tolerate only minimal deflections to maintain precision cuts.Consequently, bearings are manufactured with low NRR just for machine-tool applications.
Contamination is unavoidable in many industrial products,and shields and seals are commonly used to protect bearings from dust and dirt.However,a perfect bearing seal is not possible because of the movement between inner and outer races.Consequently,lubrication migration and contamination are always problems.
Once a bearing is contaminated, its lubricant deteriorates and operation becomes noisier.If it overheats,the bearing can seize.At the very least,contamination causes wear as it works between balls and the raceway,becoming imbedded in the races and acting as an abrasive between metal surfaces.Fending off dirt with seals and shields illustrates some methods for controlling contamination.
Noise is as an indicator of bearing quality.Various noise grades have been developed to classify bearing performance capabilities.
Noise analysis is done with an Anderonmeter, which is used for quality control in bearing production and also when failed bearings are returned for analysis. A transducer is attached to the outer ring and the inner race is turned at 1,800rpm on an air spindle. Noise is measured in andirons, which represent ball displacement in μm/rad. 机械设计基础英文文献和中文翻译(7):http://www.751com.cn/fanyi/lunwen_56410.html
