Application, structure and maintenance of universal hollow bearings

Introduction

Universal hollow bearings, as an important mechanical component, are widely used in various rotating equipment and transmission systems. Their unique design and functions make them indispensable in many fields. This article will introduce the application, structural characteristics and daily maintenance methods of universal hollow bearings in detail to help readers better understand and use this key component.

I. Application Fields

1. Industrial Machinery

Application: Used for rotating parts in various industrial machinery, such as conveyors, mixers, elevators, etc.

Advantages: Provide stable rotation support and flexible transmission angle to adapt to complex mechanical movements.

2. Automobile Industry

Application: Used for key components such as automobile steering systems and drive shafts.

Advantages: Ensure that the drive shaft transmits power smoothly at different angles, improving driving safety and comfort.

3. Aerospace

Application: Used for high-precision equipment such as aircraft landing gear and flight control systems.

Advantages: Withstand huge loads in high-altitude and high-speed environments to ensure stable operation of equipment.

4. Medical Equipment

Application: Used for precision instruments such as medical imaging equipment and surgical robotic arms.

Advantages: Provide high-precision rotation support to ensure precise operation of equipment and patient safety.

2. Structural features

1. Hollow design

Advantages: Reduce weight, facilitate threading or passing through pipes, suitable for application scenarios that require internal passages.

2. Universal joint structure

Advantages: Allows flexible rotation in multiple directions to meet transmission requirements at different angles.

3. Inner and outer ring structure

Features: Consists of an inner ring and an outer ring, the inner ring is fixed on the rotating shaft, and the outer ring is fixed on the fixed component.

Advantages: Provides stable rotation support and load transfer.

4. Ball or needle roller assembly

Features: Use balls or needle rollers as moving elements to reduce friction and improve transmission efficiency.

Advantages: Extend service life and reduce maintenance requirements.

3. Daily maintenance

1. Regular lubrication

Method: Use appropriate grease or lubricant to lubricate the bearing regularly.

Frequency: Check the status regularly according to the use environment and load conditions, and replenish or replace if necessary.

2. Cleaning and inspection

Method: Clean the bearing surface regularly to remove dust and impurities. Check whether the bearing is worn, cracked or loose.

Frequency: Conduct a comprehensive inspection every quarter or half a year to detect and deal with problems in a timely manner.

3. Installation and removal

Method: During installation and removal, use special tools to avoid directly hitting the bearing. Ensure the matching accuracy of the bearing, shaft and seat hole.

Note: Avoid damage to the bearing during installation and ensure installation accuracy.

4. Environmental control

Method: Ensure that the working environment of the bearing is clean and avoid the intrusion of moisture and corrosive media.

Note: In high humidity and corrosive environments, additional protective measures should be taken, such as using anti-rust grease.

Conclusion

Universal hollow bearings are key components in modern mechanical equipment. They are widely used, have unique structures, and require regular maintenance to ensure their performance and life. By understanding their application areas, structural characteristics and maintenance methods, users can better use and maintain this important mechanical component to ensure the stable operation of the equipment and extend its service life.
