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.
