German AGATHON bearings AGATHON models AGATHON prices

AGATHON bearings are available in two structures: cylindrical bore and tapered bore. Cage materials include steel sheet and synthetic resin. The outer ring raceway is spherical, providing self-aligning capability to compensate for errors caused by misalignment and shaft deflection; however, the relative inclination between the inner and outer rings must not exceed 3 degrees.

AGATHON bearing introduction

Linear bearings are linear motion systems used in conjunction with cylindrical shafts for linear travel. Since the load-bearing balls make point contact with the bearing outer sleeve, the steel balls roll with minimal friction resistance. Therefore, linear bearings feature low friction and high stability, unaffected by bearing speed, enabling smooth linear motion with high sensitivity and precision. Linear bearings also have limitations: primarily, poor impact load capacity and low load-carrying capacity; secondly, significant vibration and noise during high-speed operation. Automated selection of linear bearings is included. Linear bearings are widely used in sliding components of industrial machinery such as precision machine tools, textile machinery, food packaging machinery, and printing machinery. Due to point contact between the load-bearing balls and the bearing, the applicable load is small. Steel balls rotate with extremely low friction resistance, thereby achieving high-precision smooth motion. Plastic linear bearings are self-lubricating linear motion systems. The main difference from metal linear bearings is that metal linear bearings operate on rolling friction with point contact between the bearing and the cylindrical shaft, making them suitable for low-load, high-speed motion; whereas plastic linear bearings operate on sliding friction with surface contact between the bearing and the cylindrical shaft, making them suitable for high-load, medium-to-low-speed motion.

AGATHON bearing features

Linear bearings are used in conjunction with hardened linear drive shafts as systems for infinite linear motion. Because the load-bearing balls and the hardened drive shaft have point contact, the permissible load is small; however, during linear motion, friction resistance is minimal, precision is high, and movement is fast. Plastic linear bearings have no special requirements for the mating shaft; they can withstand greater loads than metal bearings. However, since the motion between the bearing and the shaft is sliding friction, the speed of plastic linear bearings is limited; motion resistance is higher than that of metal linear bearings; but motion noise is lower than that of metal linear bearings, especially at medium-to-high speeds, where the noise of plastic linear bearings is minimally affected by speed. Due to the internal chip removal groove design, plastic linear bearings are permitted for use in dusty environments; dust is automatically carried out from the bearing body friction surface through the grooves during motion. Plastic linear bearings also allow cleaning during use, and internal sliding films made of special materials can even operate in liquids for extended periods.

AGATHON bearing maintenance

Maintenance of metal linear bearings: Lubrication and friction: Anti-corrosion oil is injected into the linear bearing interior. If using grease lubrication, first remove the anti-corrosion oil with kerosene or organic solvent, air dry, and then add lithium soap-based grease (viscosity grade N0.2 recommended). If using oil lubrication, there is no need to remove the anti-corrosion oil; select lubricating oil of ISO viscosity grade VG15-100 according to temperature changes. Shaft lubrication can be supplied via an oil supply pipe or through oil holes on the outer bearing housing. Since seals scrape off lubricating oil, oil lubrication is not suitable for sealed bearings without oil holes. Maintenance of plastic linear bearings: Since the sliding film inside plastic linear bearings is made of self-lubricating plastic, no additional oil supply or maintenance is required during use. Moreover, because plastic linear bearings have chip removal grooves, no maintenance is needed even if dust accumulates on the bearing or shaft; dust is automatically carried out through the grooves during motion. Only when the sliding film wears out and fails does it need to be replaced directly; maintenance is very convenient.
