Automotive Bearing
A bearing is a machine element that limits relative motion to only what is needed and reduces friction between moving parts. Automobile bearings are important components in automobiles, responsible for the efficient and smooth operation of vehicles. All moving parts of a automobile require bearings to function. Bearings improve the performance of automobiles, withstand heavy loads and reduce friction. Some of the major subsystems that use bearings are engines, transmissions, transmissions, wheels, steering, electric motors, pumps, etc. In addition, even windshield wipers, mirrors, doors and hood hinges require bearings to operate smoothly.
Although there are dozens of ball bearings in the market, the following three types of bearings are commonly used in the automotive industry.
• Ball bearings
In a nutshell, a ball bearing is a rolling bearing that reduces rotational friction between two surfaces; possibly the automobile and the sidewalk. The bearing allows speed variations by supporting radial and axial loads. They are essential in automobiles and are one of the most commonly used bearings in the automotive industry.
• Plain Bearings
Plain bearings without rolling elements are widely used in the automotive industry. This is mainly because they have the ability to withstand heavy loads and large load carrying capacity. Not to mention that they are usually the cheapest. Compared with other rolling bearings, Plain Bearings also have a longer service life.
• Thrust Bearings
Thrust Bearings consist of three main parts. Like most other ball bearings, they help support the axial load and allow rotation between the two parts. There are many different Thrust Bearings available, for example: Tapered Roller Bearing (Tapered Roller Bearings can bear one direction radial load and axial load, which are larger than Tapered Roller Bearings have widely application, especially in automobile.), Cylindrical Roller Bearing and Spherical Bearings can bear Cylindrical Roller Bearings have widespread application, as well as in automobiles. These bearings are commonly used in automotive and aerospace applications. The Cylindrical Roller Bearings and Tapered Roller Bearings are also the main automobile bearing products Nicer Bearing provides.
By taking advantage of each bearing, Nicer Bearing improves the driving performance and safety of automobiles. In order to achieve safer and more comfortable driving, there is a growing requirement for bearings that are both highly functional and highly reliable. Nicer Bearing can meet large demands for the market.
