BIHLER bearings are roller bearings with cylindrical rollers. Relative to their diameter, the rollers are both thin and long. These rollers are called needle rollers. Despite having a small cross-section, the bearings still have high load-carrying capacity. Needle roller bearings are equipped with thin and long rollers (roller diameter D ≤ 5mm, L/D ≥ 2.5, where L is the roller length). Therefore, the radial structure is compact. When the inner diameter size and load capacity are the same as other types of bearings, the outer diameter is the smallest, making them particularly suitable for support structures with limited radial installation dimensions. Depending on the application, bearings without inner rings or needle roller and cage assemblies can be selected. In this case, the journal surface of the shaft and the housing bore surface directly serve as the inner and outer rolling surfaces of the bearing. To ensure that the load capacity and operating performance are the same as bearings with rings, the hardness, machining precision, and surface quality of the raceway surfaces on the shaft or housing bore should be similar to those of the bearing rings. This type of bearing can only withstand radial loads.

BIHLER bearing features

1) The friction coefficient of rolling bearings is smaller than that of sliding bearings, resulting in higher transmission efficiency. The friction coefficient of general sliding bearings is 0.08-0.12, while the friction coefficient of rolling bearings is only 0.001-0.005. 2) Rolling bearings have been standardized, serialized, and generalized, making them suitable for mass production and supply, and very convenient to use and maintain. 3) Rolling bearings are made of bearing steel and undergo heat treatment. Therefore, rolling bearings not only have higher mechanical properties and longer service life, but also save on the more expensive non-ferrous metals used in manufacturing sliding bearings. 4) The internal clearance of rolling bearings is very small, and the machining precision of each component is high, resulting in higher operating precision. At the same time, the rigidity of the bearing can be increased by preloading. This is very important for precision machinery. 5) Some rolling bearings can withstand both radial and axial loads simultaneously, thereby simplifying the structure of the bearing support. 6) Due to the high transmission efficiency and low heat generation of rolling bearings, lubricant consumption can be reduced, and lubrication maintenance is relatively easy. 7) Rolling bearings can be conveniently applied to shafts in any spatial orientation.

BIHLER bearing usage precautions

Needle roller bearings have high load-carrying capacity and are suitable for support structures with limited installation dimensions. The journal surface is hardened to serve as the rolling surface. The bearing is press-fitted into the housing bore and does not require further axial positioning. An appropriate amount of grease should be injected before installation. Under normal circumstances, no further lubrication is required after assembly. BK type bearings are used in supports where the shaft end does not protrude. The closed end face serves as a seal and can withstand small axial movements. Causes of damage: Generally speaking, 33.3% of needle roller bearing failures are due to fatigue damage, 33.3% are due to poor lubrication, and another 33.3% are due to contaminants entering the bearing or improper equipment handling. [Clean the bearing and surrounding environment from micro-dust. Fine dust invisible to the naked eye is a powerful killer of bearings, as it can increase bearing wear, vibration, and noise. Strong impact during equipment use, such as directly striking the bearing with a hammer, can easily cause needle roller bearing damage by transmitting pressure through the rolling elements. Impact of using non-professional tools for installation. Using suitable and accurate tools can greatly avoid using cloth and short fibers. Whether in laboratory tests or actual applications, it can be clearly seen that needle roller bearings with identical appearance under the same working conditions have significant differences in actual service life.

BIHLER bearing troubleshooting

Fault phenomena of rolling bearings generally manifest in two ways: one is excessive temperature at the bearing installation site, and the other is noise during bearing operation. 1.) Excessive bearing temperature. During mechanism operation, a certain temperature is allowed at the bearing installation site. When touching the mechanism housing with your hand, it should feel normal if it does not feel hot; otherwise, it indicates that the bearing temperature is too high. Reasons for excessive bearing temperature include: lubricant quality does not meet requirements or has deteriorated, lubricant viscosity is too high; mechanism assembly is too tight (insufficient clearance); bearing assembly is too tight; bearing rings rotate on the shaft or in the housing; excessive load; bearing cage or rolling elements are fractured, etc. 2) Bearing noise. Rolling bearings are allowed to have slight operating noises during work. If the noise is too loud, abnormal, or there are knocking sounds, it indicates a bearing fault. The reasons for noise in rolling bearings are complex. One reason is wear on the mating surfaces of the inner and outer rings. This wear disrupts the fit relationship between the bearing and the housing, and between the bearing and the shaft, causing the axis to deviate from its correct position, resulting in abnormal noise when the shaft moves at high speed. When the bearing fatigues, surface metal spalling occurs, which also increases the radial clearance of the bearing and produces abnormal noise. In addition, insufficient bearing lubrication leading to dry friction, and bearing breakage, will also produce abnormal sounds. After bearing wear and looseness, cage loosening and damage will also produce abnormal noise. 3) Bearing wear. Rolling bearing wear is a common equipment problem during shaft use, mainly caused by the metal characteristics of the shaft: although metal has high hardness, it has poor compliance (cannot recover after deformation), poor impact resistance, and poor fatigue resistance, making it prone to adhesive wear, abrasive wear, fatigue wear, fretting wear, etc. Most shaft wear is not easily detected. It is only noticed when there is high machine temperature, large jump amplitude, or abnormal noise. However, by the time people notice, most rolling bearings are already worn, causing machine shutdown.
