When selecting a bearing, temperature plays a crucial role. Bearings often face challenging environments where they must endure high temperatures caused by factors such as friction, electrical currents, electromagnetic induction, or external environmental extremes. This brief guide aims to provide insight into ensuring your bearing can withstand harsh thermal conditions.
Bearings are highly precise components, requiring all parts—races, rolling elements, and cages—to maintain strict engineering tolerances. For instance, excessive expansion of the outer race could lead to issues like accelerated wear, lubricant leakage, or overall malfunction. Similarly, deformation of any rolling element can cause rough operation, potential jamming, or catastrophic failure, especially under high-temperature conditions.
Over time, bearings naturally degrade due to factors like steel expansion, deformation, or wear, which affects their dimensional stability and performance. While this aging process is typically gradual, extreme temperatures can expedite these changes significantly.
At Emerson Bearing, we ensure that all our bearings remain dimensionally stable within specific operating temperature ranges. This guarantees that as long as the bearing operates below its maximum temperature limit, its critical dimensions will stay within acceptable tolerances throughout its service life.
In essence, your bearing will meet the demands of your design unless exposed to temperatures beyond the recommended range. In such cases, both lifespan and performance may diminish depending on load conditions and environmental factors.
Below is a breakdown of our dimensionally stabilized bearing categories categorized by their maximum operational temperatures:
