Recognizing the signs of roller bearing damage. Emerson Bearing Boston shares tips on when to replace roller bearings.

BOSTON, MA… It can be difficult to know when to replace your roller bearing since the amount of time between the initial damage and when the bearing becomes unserviceable can differ significantly. 

Emerson Bearing, a Boston, MA-based bearing company catering to niche markets nationwide and the sister company of Action Bearing which serves the New England market, shares tips for recognizing the signs of roller bearing damage and the need for timely replacement.

High-speed bearings can be destroyed in seconds. Low-speed bearings can take months to break down. Early diagnosis of a damaged bearing is essential so that the bearing can be replaced before it fails completely, at which point it can also damage the machine and other components.

Look for these common reasons for roller bearing damage:

Handling damage – Damage caused by rough transport or installation often exhibits as denting or nicking; raised metal due to contact with roller edges.

Cage damage – Bearings that were dropped or incorrectly installed often result in cage damage. When this occurs, rollers tend to skew and bind, and the cage ring gets obstructed during operation or installation.

Preload/overload damage – Excessive bearing preload or overload can damage roller bearings in different ways. Preload settings that are too tight could also lead to cone bore contraction. Full race width fatigue spalling can occur due to heavy loads that create a layer of lubricant and high temperatures.

Deformations – Roller bearing deformations can occur in several different ways. Excess heat can cause metal flow, which can result in rib face deformations in the bearing cones. Deformation can cause rollers to skew and the bearing to lock up entirely.

Fatigue spalling – This is a type of damage to the metal surface. Inclusion spalling results from oxides or other hard inclusions in the steel of the bearing. Point surface spalling occurs because a raised surface or debris exceeds the thickness of the bearing lubrication film. In both types of spalling, the metal will begin breaking away from the raceway.

“By identifying early indications of damage, bearings can be replaced during regular roller bearing maintenance, which ultimately prevents costly, unexpected downtime due to bearing failure,” said Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing. “Machines should be monitored for unusual noise, vibration, and temperature and the causes of these symptoms should be addressed promptly to prevent further damage to the system.”

Selecting the Right Rod End – Emerson Bearing Boston shares considerations for the Industrial Machinery, Automotive and Aerospace Industries

BOSTON, MA… Rod ends are an essential component of many machines, particularly those used in automotive, aviation, and other major industries. Rod ends link the ends of precision articulating joints such as steering links, control rods, tie rods, robotic arms and more, so there are a few important considerations regarding the right rod end selection for the application.

Emerson Bearing, a Boston, MA-based bearing company catering to niche markets nationwide and the sister company of Action Bearing which serves the New England market, explains rod ends and offers tips to key industries regarding their options. 

Rod ends consist of an eye-shaped head with an integral shank that serves as housing for a spherical plain bearing, or bushing. They are utilized in linkage applications where a bearing must support a significant misalignment. Rod ends come in a variety of styles. 

What they are
A rod end is a joint that allows for some rotational freedom about all three axes while maintaining a fixed point of contact between two parts. Rod ends are used to join the ends of steering links, control rods, and other mechanically controlled tie rods. Since the center of rotation of a rod end is on the axis of both connected shafts, it offers reliable point-to-point contact. 

“Many advanced industrial systems require high-precision articulation joints as essential components,” said Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing. “These joints are used in a variety of applications, including robotic arms, textile equipment, and automobile steering linkages, among others. They are perfect for circumstances where rotary motion necessitates changes in the rotation axis because they have the capacity to accommodate any kind of misalignment.”

Since joint systems are utilized worldwide, the rod ends used in them come in metric and inch styles.

Selecting the right rod end
The threading on a rod end is what determines its classification as either male or female. Rod ends with external threading are male configurations while rod ends with internal threading have a female configuration. Female rod end bearings are often used in unique applications due to their ability to fine-tune the placement of components. Female rod end bearings, for example, are frequently used in helicopters to precisely adjust the direction of the blade.

Katz continued, “We are dedicated to helping customers find the right rod end solution for their application, while also providing information necessary to help enhance performance and extend service life.”

With over four million bearings in stock at multiple price points, Emerson Bearing has the largest inventory of bearings on the East Coast under one roof in their 30,000 square foot warehouse.

Spindle Bearing Success. Emerson Bearing Shares 3 Key Factors in Machine Tool Bearing Selection.

BOSTON, MA… Emerson Bearing, a Boston, MA-based bearing company catering to niche markets nationwide and the sister company of Action Bearing which serves the New England market, shares 3 factors for spindle bearing success in machine tool applications. 
 
Today’s machine tools rely on various specialized components that allow them to operate smoothly and efficiently while holding tight tolerances. High quality precision bearings are particularly important to the accuracy and reliability of machining equipment as they are responsible for directing and enhancing spindle movement. These components generally consist of balls or rollers that are positioned between inner and outer raceways. 
 
Ceramic hybrid spindle bearings can provide increased spindle speed, improved stiffness, and enhanced resistance to high temperatures. The ceramic balls used in these bearings operate at lower temperatures, which prolongs the service life of lubricants. They also operate at lower vibration levels, resulting in increased spindle rigidity.  
 
Other common types of bearings include high precision cylindrical roller bearings, angular contact bearings and ball screw support bearings. 
 
When selecting ball or roller bearings, there are three key factors to keep in mind: contact angle, preload, and system rigidity. 
 
Contact Angle is the line of contact along which the ball bearing touches the raceways of the assembly. This angle is determined by the thrust loading and radial play. Ideally, the contact angle should be 15°—this is the optimal balance between axial and radial capacity and rigidity. To increase the axial rigidity, some systems have a contact angle of 25°. No matter which angle works best for your system, it’s essential to choose the bearings that operate best at the given angle. 
 
Preload is a force that holds the raceway and rolling element surfaces under pressure. It’s a constant elastic compressive force that stops the parts from moving in an uncontrolled manner (either axially or radially) even when they’re under load. The right bearings will tolerate this additional force without breakage. 
 
System Rigidity. Machine tools generate several different forces that ball and roller bearings need to be able to account for. Factors such as housing stiffness and bearing stiffness determine the machine’s system rigidity and ability to produce consistently precise results. 
 
Supporting the unique needs of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) markets across the nation, Emerson Bearing experts can assist with selection of the appropriate bearings, maintenance tips and more.
