Thrust Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAQS

QWhat is Needle roller bearings?

ANeedle roller bearings are bearings with cylindrical rollers that are small in diameter relative to their length. The modified roller/raceway profile prevents stress peaks to extend bearing service life.

QWhat is the technology of bearing isolators?

AThe unique technology has been developed over a number of years to provide total bearing protection by ensuring zero leakage of lubricant to atmosphere and total exclusion of contaminants from the bearing housing. Lip seals are primarily designed to keep lubricants in, and are not always effective at keeping contaminants out. Surveys have shown that even a tiny amount of water or dirt in the lubricant can drastically reduce bearing operating life.

QWhere is the bearing isolators used in?

AHigh-grade PTFE composites in the construction of the standard bearing isolator range ensure a wide range of operating capabilities, including high and low temperature and extreme chemical environments. The use of alternative PTFE fillers extends the physical properties and capabilities into such areas as food production and pharmaceuticals.

QHow a wheel bearing works?

ADriven axles Wheel bearings used on driven axles are secured in or on the axle carrier. With most Generation 1 and Generation 2 bearings, the outer ring is pressed into the axle carrier.Generation 3 wheel bearings have an outer ring that is screwed onto the axle carrier. This means the outer ring is always secured and, together with the axle carrier,forms a single unit;The rolling elements located between the inner and outer rings roll in the races. Non-driven axles The essential function of the wheel bearing is the same.The only difference is that the wheel bearing is not driven by a drive shaft. In these instances, the wheel bearing is either located on an axle journal or likewise in or on the axle carrier.
