The Structure of Scroll Bearing Designations
The scroll bearing is an important part of machinery, automotive and industrial applications. Any bearing model needs to have a way for engineers, technicians and maintenance professionals to identify it uniquely. This article will explain the structure behind the numbering system used to designate a certain scroll bearing.
The basis of the system is a set of numerical codes which represent the different aspects of the bearing. The structure of the codes varies slightly depending on the specific classification of the bearing. The majority of all bearing designations have four sections to the code. First, the “Basic Specification” design from the bearing explains its general purpose and function and comprises the first two sections. By examining these sections, some knowledgeable users can encounter a bearing that meets their needs without delving through additional details.
The third section is called the “Generic Bearing Specification”. This section explains how the particular bearing is built and guides the user on how to mount, align and lubricate the bearing correctly. This part also provides information such as bore size, outer diameter, and width of the bearing, as well as the clearance, vibration and load ratings.
Finally, the last section is called the “Bearing Designation Suffix”. This part of the code indicates additional features such as lubricant type, accuracy and quality checks that are performed on the bearing during its production.
It’s important to study the structure of each bearing designation to make sure the desired part is chosen for any application. Doing so will ensure that the correct part is utilized for each application and that users can configure the part as desired. This ensures faster installation and operation, as well as ensuring product safety in your application.
In summary, the structure of scroll bearing designations rely on a set of numerical codes that represent all aspects of the bearing. The basic specification and generic bearing designations describe the primary characteristics of the bearing. The bearing designation suffix denotes additional features that affect the usage in an application. Understanding the structure of the codes is an important step to properly configure and install the bearing.
