How are the balls inserted in a ball bearing?

The process of inserting balls into ball bearings is a delicate and skillful operation. Here are some common ball insertion methods.

Bearings should not be unfamiliar to anyone, from toys to production equipment, there are basically bearings, however, if we look closely at these bearings, perhaps there will be some doubts, these beads in the end how to enter the bearings?

As an essential part of the modern machinery inside, bearings bear a very important role for the craft masters naturally have no secrets, but for the general public, these beads how to enter the bearings is a difficult point.

First of all, we need to know, the bearing is divided into two circles inside and outside, the middle of the ball, play a role in reducing friction, to understand how to put the ball into the bearing, in fact, is to understand its production process.

In the production process, the first step we have to do is to first load the finished ball into the frame, these appropriate size frame can screen the corresponding ball, to ensure that the size of the ball just meet the needs of the corresponding bearing.

When the outer ring of the bearing is put on the inner ring, the corresponding space will be left in advance to load the steel ball, but at this time, although the steel ball is loaded, but the position is not right, but also need to be adjusted, this time we have to take out the ball splitter.

The ball splitter can adjust the position of the steel balls to ensure that the steel balls can be maintained in a correct position to operate, and will not interfere with each other, only to ensure that there is a corresponding interval between the steel balls to ensure that the bearings can be used normally.

Moreover, the factor of friction has to be taken into account, in order to reduce this effect, a cage is also added between the inner and outer rings, this component is to make the position of the steel balls fixed, and will not be displaced when rotating.

This cage is generally made of materials with excellent durability, and is required to be able to hold the ball in place but not prevent it from rotating, so a smooth contact surface is also required to minimize the obstruction to the rotation of the ball.

In order to achieve the purpose, the production process, the master will generally be slightly squeezed these shelves, so that it can better fix the steel ball, this step generally requires a high degree of experience, too hard will lead to damage to the bearings, too light and ineffective.

Can only be appropriate strength to squeeze the cage in order to make the stability of the bearings become higher, but for general standard parts, nowadays the bearings are also more automated manufacturing, only the design and manufacture of non-standard parts, there will be this step.

In the process of manufacturing bearings, bearings are also installed on both ends of the cover piece, this part is to prevent the loss of lubricant, and to ensure that the bearing is not affected by the external environment, effectively reducing wear and tear, thereby increasing the durability of the bearing.

For parts, the first to ensure that the safety, followed by economic benefits, will increase the service life of the bearing is also an essential part of the production process, after these steps, a bearing is considered to be finished.

And through our description, we can understand that these balls are not alone put in even if finished, must undergo some complex operations to complete the production, when these balls because of wear and tear and other reasons need to be taken out, in fact, is the reverse of these steps.

First of all, use the torch to remove the original cage, these riveting mechanism is not by hand can be dismantled, which is why the ball will not fall out of the reason, when we use the torch will be riveted to the removal of the point can be dismantled after the cage.

We can take a screwdriver or some other tool to pry open these cages, and after removing the cages, these balls can be moved, and there’s a chance of success in slowly dialing them out by hand, but that’s too time-consuming.

So we’d better use a screwdriver to pry these balls, after these balls out, this bearing will not be scrapped, as the most critical components in the mechanical devices, bearings used in the material requirements are very high, and will not be a problem.

Bearings as an indispensable part of modern production, manufacturing engineering and dismantling process requires a certain technology, through these descriptions, when we face the bearings again, there will be more understanding.

Perhaps we can also find a few bearings from some toys or useless devices, and then try to dismantle it to see its internal structure, after all, only their own hands can actually have a more accurate intuitive feeling.

Bearings as the basic components of mechanical devices, the design is actually not the kind of high-end components of the complexity of the feeling, but it is a mechanical component to maintain the operation of the key, the first to pay attention to these basics, in order to have the opportunity to extend.

Therefore, a better understanding of the bearings and other basic components for engineering learning is a certain positive significance, we can not just go to emphasize the highly sophisticated areas and ignore the production process of bearings.
