Bearings are mechanical components used to reduce friction and wear. When the rotating parts of the pump work at high speeds and loads, they need an efficient system to support and reduce friction, and bearings are the "lubricant" that lubricate between the rotating and fixed parts. The main roles of bearings in pumps are as follows:
1. Reduce friction: Reduce the friction between the shaft and the housing by rolling or sliding.
2. Stability: Maintain the precise position of the pump shaft to ensure the coordination between the pump components.
3. Prolong life: reduce wear, improve pump life, reduce maintenance costs.
4. Reduce noise: high-quality bearings can also effectively reduce the noise during operation.
In small pumps and oil pumps, ball bearings are the protagonists because they perform well at high speeds, with low noise and low friction. In large industrial pumps, roller bearings and plain bearings are more common. For example, the boiler feed pump of the power plant, because it needs to carry high loads for a long time, the strong carrying capacity of plain bearings and roller bearings is particularly important.
How to determine what kind of bearings your pump needs? First of all, look at the application scenario and load characteristics of the pump. Secondly, the maintenance cost and life expectancy of the pump should be considered. It is recommended to consult a professional bearing supplier for the best advice. Kent Bearing is a precision bearing manufacturer, with more than 20 years of precision bearing processing and manufacturing technology, product models up to 100 kinds. The precision bearings produced by the company have the advantages of high speed rotation, low noise and low vibration.
Although the bearing is small, it plays a decisive role in the pump. It not only affects the working efficiency of the pump, but also relates to the service life and noise control. I hope that through this article, you have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of bearings.
