▊Principle of the fixed / floating bearings

■ Fixed bearings
In fixed bearings, the outer ring is fixed in the housing and the inner ring is fixed on the shaft. Both the tilting and turning movement take place on the spherical surface.

■ Floating bearings
The outer ring of the floating bearing is fixed in the housing. The tilting movement takes place on the spherical surface, the rotational movement is on the inside diameter, with simultaneous axial movement of the shaft also possible.

▊Installation

A precise, centric positioning of the spherical bearingis the basic precondition for perfect installation. Accordingly, the housing bores and shaft ends should be chamfered 10° to 20° in axial direction.

For the installation of spherical bearings with cover (pressfit), an installation sleeve or tube used with a hydraulic press as the mounting force transducer provides the best guarantee for the perfect fit of the spherical bearings. Impact damage, for example caused by installing the bearing with hammer and mandrel, must be avoided in any case. Damage of the precision bearing parts can lead to serious malfunctions. Installing a spherical bearing into a housing should be done via the outer ring.

Spherical bearing installation on a shaft or a bolt should be done via the inner ring.

DURARUB® Filament Wound Bearings Finder V2.1

view tools

▊DURARUB® Filament Wound Bearings Finder[V2.0] is based on the analysis and calculation of a large number of test data in CSB® laboratory. You can calculations material data by entering parameters such as bearing load, speed, and temperature, and finally output material adaptation data.
▊Because the system calculate and analyze based on lab data, it can't exactly meet the ractual use requirements absolutly. The system data verification has certain limitations; CSB® recommends that the bearing must be tested again to verify whether it meets the actual use requirements.
▊DURARUB® Filament Wound Bearings Finder output data information is only for design reference, and can not be used as the final standard for determining the bearing material conformity, If you have any questions, please contact CSB® sales engineers.
