WD BEARINGS: IMPORTANCE OF BEARINGS IN OUR LIFE

In this gadget-friendly world, the human is completely dependent on machines. We cannot live without machines. Most of the machines have motors to run them. And to run those motors we need efficient and long-lasting bearings. Knowingly or unknowingly we are surrounded by bearings. Bearings play a major role in functioning most of our machines and that makes them play a major role in our life. For example, most of our home appliances like fridge and washing machines can never function without Home Appliance bearings. Similarly, you need Air Compressor Bearings for spray painting and quick cleaning. One cannot just vibrate a screen without the help of Vibrating Screen Bearings. 

Manufacturers of home appliances always wish to enhance their machine's efficiency by using less energy. On the other hand, the customers always want their appliance to make less noise, run well, function for a long time and most importantly be energy efficient. That is why it is important to make suitable Home Appliance bearings to meet the demands of both customer and manufacturer.

Air compressors require high-speed rotating Air Compressor bearings which can endure heavy load. A precised cylindrical roller bearing that is particularly suitable for air compressors can help the compressor perform better with less energy consumption.

Vibrating Screens are used in mining and metallurgy industries. The major use of vibrating screens is to separate bulk items like sand, crushed rock, and ore from the composite of mixed sized particles. Durable Vibrating Screen Bearings are essential to sustain the heavy load, dust, and dirt and make the screen perform better.

WD Bearings is a leading technology-oriented Company that deals with R&D, manufacturing, sales, and service of high-quality bearings. We make precised and customized bearings that help the machines perform better with less energy consumption. We deal with industries like gearbox, electric motor, construction machinery, material handling equipment and steel mills, etc. We provide various types of bearings including Home Appliance bearings, Air Compressor Bearings, and Vibrating Screen Bearings. We live with our motto i.e. "Quality Creates Value" by serving our customers with quality bearings to create and enhance their value.

Slewing Ring Bearings | Core of Enterprise and Carousel: Favorite Amusement Park won't be Amusing enough without them

Bearings have always been the unsung heroes in the story of machinery. The praise and applauds goes to the important spares and the machine itself, but the forgotten bearings miss the limelight. Not that they can complain, but it is their performance that counts the most. Similarly, in the Amusement and Theme Parks, slewing ring bearings are the kings yet none know about them. They form the core of popular rides, like Enterprise or Carousel. It supports the entire load and is responsible for smooth running, or say spinning, of the rides yet very few, only the maintenance guy I think, has knowledge of it.

                The slewing ring bearings are designed and manufactured as per the requirements of the machinery or the rides in the Theme Parks. The load capacity, movement speed, and angular displacement range is what decides the design and development of the custom bearings for any machinery. Enterprise and similar rides being humongous machinery they will need equally strong and durable bearing to support its best performance. Precision roller bearings and other special roller bearings are therefore used to make a system of bearings to reduce the load from the primary bearings. While this can be the quickest method, developing a custom bearing is the best method to reduce the complexity of the machinery. Else what you get is machinery within a machinery kind of scenario. And a simple error in any one of the independent system may affect the performance of the machine immensely. For the sake of compaction and further development of machines, we at WD Bearing strive to create the best solution for your machine’s mobility.

Evolution of Home Appliances Bearings and technology over the Years: Is this Curiosity of Humans or an effect of Globalization?

When you refer to the history of ball bearings, home appliances bearings has evolved rapidly over the period of few decades than few millennium ago. The whole globe is in the reach of humans now with the rapid technological advancement. Moreover, globalization gives us access to the studies and the research from all over the world with almost no filter. This has led us in technological boom in these few decades, which was not a privilege that our ancestors enjoyed. While the spark of curiosity is inextinguishable, globalization has fanned that spark to become blazing inferno.

The development and invention of new and better machinery demands better and precise spare parts. Hence, the integral parts of a machine has been evolving since the days of wooden ball bearings to highly durable precision bearings of various shapes and sizes, even for the home appliances bearings. So, it is just a question of when to replace the old with the new bearings designed focusing on the specific functionality of the machine. This increases the diversity of bearings to be wide and no two bearings can be replaced with each other. For example, the air compressor bearings are precision cylindrical roller bearings you cannot use a precision ball bearing for the same purpose. Can you? You must be wondering, how did globalization impact us? Well, in this modern age, we can reach the whole globe. By reaching I don’t mean to just visit them but also exchange goods, services, culture, and knowledge. This was capped in the yester-millennial or yester-century. The tension and the struggle to live under the ruling of the Jungle Law, Strong Eats the Weak, had limited the knowledge and the insights that were needed to pique the curiosity of the experts. Globalization and the peaceful days have given us the opportunity to grow beyond our imagination. Wouldn’t you agree?

Our experts will analyze your demand to get an effective solution unique for your machine. We strive to see the ever-increasing zenith in the advancement of technology. That is the reason we concentrate on the quality of the bearings we manufacture, and you can decide if it is worth it.

Carrier Roller Bearings | Backbone of Conveyor Belts to ease your burden of Carrying the Heavy Weight in the Site

It was hard on the manual workers to do all the heavy lifting in the construction or industrial sites. With the development of technology, numerous machineries were developed to ease the burden on them. And what all of them had in common to bear the heavy load is the roller bearings. Even in the conveyor belts that we so frequently see in the mining, construction or even manufacturing industries, rely on them. Carrier roller bearings are the backbone that helps in smooth operation of a conveyor belt. Be it stones or paper, the burden accumulated with their large numbers is not something to joke about.

Conveyor belts from different sites are subjected to different working conditions. Hence, one cannot use the same carrier roller bearings to operate them. For instance, conveyor belts in a printing press where magazines and daily newspaper are printed compared to the one at a mining site. The materials and the products differ in weight, the condition of working changes drastically. That in a printing press, the working environment is controlled and dust free. The only variable among it is some accidents happening in the workplace, like short circuit. However, the mining site is one of the most hazardous environments for any equipment or machinery. The dust and dirt will be flying all around. The materials to be moved are often heavier than anything. Finally, the uncontrolled temperature and climate outside affects the machinery. In any day, the working temperature varies by 10-12 ®F. Moreover, the climate adds other harsh conditions to a conveyor belt in the open mining site that is not experienced in a printing press interior. This is the reason why the roller bearings are designed according the loads and the working conditions they would face.

At www.wd-bearing.com, we prepare specific designs as well as manufacture carrier roller bearings as well as specialized roller bearings for various machineries at work. We believe that the working conditions, loads carried and the type of load dictate the type of roller bearings needed and we design as such. We guarantee the best quality and the highest endurance for the products we manufacture, which will help reach the highest efficiency for your machinery.

Money Counter Bearings by WD Bearings | Count money without the whirring sound for better focus on other important matters

Fast yet accurate counting of money is a virtue for those in banking sector as well as shopping malls or hotels where big bucks are involved. For fast and accurate calculation of the money in hand, money counter machines are employed. However, if the counter is not equipped with proper machinations, then the whirring sound may disrupt your focus in other work. This is the reason why money counter bearings are specially developed. Bearings that features low noise, low vibration, and long life, as it doesn’t need to take heavy loads or rotate at high speeds. 

WD Bearings came up with the innovative money counter bearings design to take the whirring sound out of the equation. While the noiseless machine does its task, you can focus on the related tasks or paperwork. As the main motto of the machine is to be accurate rather than fast, as even the slowest machine can count faster than a skilled banker at any time, the bearings are not fabricated to employ high speed, rather the optimum speed. In workplaces with high cash flow, like a bank, a shopping mall or a casino, counting the money would take forever if done manually, and if the process is noisy, then it just distracts the person responsible and adds liability to their job. The machine would do its job well but you would be confused and lost as to what was the count.

Dental Drill Bearings | This is why Dentists can smoothly drill through your Teeth

Dentists were quite scary when you were kids. The pain associated after the visit to the dentist is what we dreaded for. Now, imagine them working when there were no dental drills or say dental drill bearings to support the delicate machinery. Terrifying, isn’t it? Manually diving into the deeper cavities with a hammer in one hand and spike on the other, as if some sadist from a high grade penitentiary has come forward to take your confession for a crime you didn’t commit. Well, thanks to technology, you don’t have to see that picture. Not that the dentists carried hammers and spikes with them before the invention of dental drills. 

Dental drill bearings are specialized bearings used in the dentists’ drillers. The drillers are used to remove cavities, decays, and to perform root canals. And as someone with a dental plan, you should know the miniature size of the machine. Even then they are capable of achieving a terrifying speed of 400,000 rpm. And the bearings have to support such high speed despite their small size. Apart from operating inside the mouth of a person, they are also used to carve artificial teeth. So, the working condition and the material regularly changes. And the bearings have to be capable enough to endure not only the rotational load but also drilling into the hard tooth.

WD Bearings has come up with innovative and effective design of bearings to provide the medicine world with durable dental drilling bearings. To maintain the hygiene within the dental practices, the bearings are made of stainless steel that are washable. As well as they can endure the high load in comparison to other washable bearings. Self-lubricating bearing cages leave you with cleaner hands after dismantling and cleaning the machine after an operation. So, visit www.wd-bearing.com if you want to know more about these bearings or have some queries about bearings for machines that you own or planning to manufacture. We believe in quality creates value and not always, value decides quality.

The machinations of the rides inside any amusement park are missed by the visitors, well who can blame them. Would you, in your right mind, ruminate about the functioning of a top-tier sports car if given a once in a lifetime chance to drive it? You would probably race it as fast as you can and hand it over while having a ear to ear grin on your face. This is the very reason why very few people know about the slew ring bearings that run the Enterprise at its full potential noiselessly, well other than the screams of the people in it. However, if the bearings are damaged or worn out, the ride may be dangerous. That is why you will see many technicians hanging around the rides’ control board and checking up on them regularly. The bearings in any of the rides require being long lasting and able to withstand heavy loads, both radially and axially. They should be able to withstand the harsh working conditions and frequent use. If any of the features are overlooked, the custom designed bearings will give out midway which can put the people in danger.

What to look out for when selecting the best roller bearing for your automobile?

Roller bearings are used to reduce the load and the friction in between machine parts for better mobility of the machine parts. Cylinders caged within the races to withstand heavier radial load and provide a smooth working machine are better than ball bearings in comparison. These are the lifeline of an automobile. Specially designed bearings are used to serve its various requirements like a precision cylindrical roller bearings used in the gearbox. And as said, the design of the bearings changes with the change in the design and type of the automobile. Moreover, bearing selection criteria is mostly based on the function and the working condition it is to be employed, as no two bearings can be used in the same scenario for exact same results. So, let us learn how our life is made easier with the help of these machine tools.

Engine, transmission and gearbox, steering, air conditioner, and wheels of an automobile use different bearings to give you a smooth ride on-road. So, automotive bearings are a mixture of general and specialized bearings that are selected as per the conditions they would face when the vehicle starts or runs. For example, the alternators make use of WD precision deep groove ball bearings while the transmission uses WD RN Series cylindrical roller bearings. This change in the type of bearing used is due to the change in the functioning as well as the environment they are employed in. While the former needs ultra-high speed, electric insulation, and need high/low temperature resistance, the latter demands stability, high precision, and reliability. In the same way, the tapered roller bearings are used in the automotive gearbox due to their high speed and long lifespan.

This shows us how the bearings change with the change in the working condition and its functioning. While the property of a particular roller bearing is set on stone, you can always change its design to make it adapt to the situation. For example, use of ceramic rollers instead of metallic rollers in a bearing where insulation gets the priority over anything else. These innovations can only be reached with a comprehensive approach to the issues at hand.

Visit us, WD-Bearing, a technology-oriented group, specialized in R&D, manufacturing, sales and service of high quality bearings. “Quality Creates Value” now is a motto for every WD member. We are ready to sincerely serve our global customers for long-term and win-win cooperation.

Bearings from agriculture to theme parks

Have you seen those big-rides which ensure an adrenalin rush like no other or the monster agricultural machines and wondered what runs them! Bearings, probably the smallest part in any machinery, are responsible for the smooth running and easy functioning of these humongous machines. There are Agricultural Bearings and Slewing Ring Bearings that make it the functioning, the working of these machines look so easy and smooth.

When we talk about agriculture, we get truly excited as that is the reason why we get food on our plate and it shouldn’t be ignored. The agriculture industry has giant equipments like the combined harvester and complicated machinery like the planetary gearboxes.  Combine harvester is a machine that harvests grain crops. It combines three separate operations including comprising harvesting, reaping, threshing and winnowing. The combine harvester usually has a long period of inactivity, and then an intense period of work and exposure to dust, mud and heavy vibration which increase the risk of bearing failure. Planetary gear is a type of gear, widely used in: Sugar industry, power industry, wind turbines, marine industry and agricultural industry. These two machines are marks of precision and the ability to work for long periods of time without being worn and torn. For this purpose, the bearings fitted in the machines have to be able to take high loads and ensure longevity. To clarify this issue, WD Bearing has launched WD Agricultural Bearings, which ensure that along with longevity and strength, the compatibility with multiple housing is also taken care of. By combining the bearings with various kinds of housings, different kinds of simple and economical bearing units are formed, and the bearing installation requirement can be reduced. WD Agricultural Bearings can be widely used in agricultural and forestry machines easily.

Talking about the roller coaster that you see at a theme park and often get mesmerized by the thrill and speed; they owe it to the various bearings that have their back. These bearings usually work day and night, and must be reliable. Any bearing failure will bring danger to the people and cause unexpected accident. Generally the most preferable bearings for carrousels are Slewing Ring Bearings. WD implements strict inspection to the raw material, to avoid failure from the source. We also set up a metallographic lab to inspect the microstructure of the bearings to ensure the product safety and long lifetime.

Roller Bearings Prominent Part of Automobiles

It is a human tendency to overlook the minute details of a comprehensive machine. We only record what it is useful for rather than how it works until and unless it is necessary. For instance, we all see a car and want to go for a joyride and whizz through the streets at high speeds but we never care for the technology used to make it faster. And let me tell you, bearings play the most important role in making them as fast as they are today. As we all know, it is the inherent trait of bearings to provide you faster displacement speeds than humanely possible. Even though roller bearings are a prominent part of the automobile industry, they are seldom mentioned other than during maintenance.

Bearings of various kinds are used in almost every moving part in an automobile. Like in the handle of a bike, ball bearings are used for smooth turning of the handle else it gets stuck or pulls to either side. These are the simplest of bearing that are used in the automobile industry. With the advancement in the automobile industry, the ball bearings have evolved to a large extent. Alternators in modern day automobiles best illustrate this. Here not only the bearing material is customized according to the high durability and better lifetime but also the design of the orthodox caged bearing is remade to adapt to the high rotational speeds. The most important part of an automobile, gearbox can’t function properly without the bearings. Cylindrical roller bearings and tapered roller bearings with less noise and vibration are used in a gearbox so that it works with optimum precision and quietly. There are many more instances where bearings come to swift rescue in automobile industry or any other industry where there is need for high speed.

Use of bearings may even predate the invention of wheels, while it is not proven but believed by many that bearings are what led to invention of wheels. To have a proper and comprehensive knowledge about the various kinds of roller bearings, you can visit wd-bearing.com and etch all the details to properly use them. We, WD Bearing Group are one of the leading ball and bearing manufacturers in the world. We believe that “Quality Creates Value”.

Roller and Ball Bearings: Making our lives roll with joy

What are bearings? Bearings, in general, are the functional part of a device that enables the rotational or linear movement more efficiently, i.e. by reducing friction and handling the stress. It has a ball like structure which helps in reducing the friction between the surfaces in contact and helps in the fluidic rolling motion. The spherical or wheel like structure helps in making not just rotary motion but also linear motion, while the speed and efficiency of the movement increases substantially.

Simplistic function of roller and ball bearings:

Roller bearings are like mechanical miracle that is used in almost all machinery known to man, this shows the simplicity of its application and function. Its functionality comes generally from the concept of friction. The intrinsic structure remains similar as mentioned above, i.e. a ball with smooth internal and external surfaces to aid in rolling. Generally the structure is divided into two parts, the internal ball bearings and the external rings which enclose them as shown in the picture. The ball itself carries the whole load of the weight which in return drives the bearings rotation. However, the loads acting may be of different nature, radial or thrust.

Radial loads put weight on the ball bearings in a manner which enables the motion as a result of tension, as seen in pulleys. The thrust load is to bear the weight of the object and move only when some extra stimulus is added, like in a bar stool. These are the basic forces working on a bearing but practically they work on it in combination which in turn varies the working load for it. For example, tires of a car, on a straight route the thrust and radial loads are normal but while cornering they come at various angles on the bearing. Herein rises the need of ball bearings specific to certain machinery and working environment.

Types of Ball Bearings:

There are many different kinds of ball bearings that are designed to cope with the load specific to it, as each and every application has its own unique parameters and working environment. The bearings are generally categorized as:

Ball Bearings: Commonly used bearings which can handle less weight and it has a extensive scope of uses such as, roller blades.

Roller Bearings: By replacing the ball in a ball bearing with a cylinder roller and adjusting the outer rings accordingly to avail larger surface area and handle larger weights. These are efficient for radial loads mostly, except for roller thrust bearings that are designed to bear the thrust load of larger weight categories.

Tapered Roller Bearings: These bearings are used to handle large amount of both radial and thrust loads. This property comes in handy for its use in car hubs, to carry the load over the wheels.

Specialized Bearings: There are many job specific bearings that are designed to handle the stress and load only in that specific setting, otherwise useless, e.g. magnetic bearings and giant roller bearings.

These are the various ball bearings and roller bearings and how they work in general. To get more detailed info and find the perfect bearing to hold your weight and roll you better, visit wd-bearing.com. We are best at what we do and what we do is manufacture bearings that suits your requirements.
