Load ratings<br />
DIN/ISO standards do not specify any calculation<br />
methods for the determination of load ratings of hybrid<br />
bearings. If the classical fatigue theory is used, the load<br />
ratings and the service life will be lower than those for<br />
steel balls. However, experience shows that the actual<br />
service life is significantly longer. Due to this, GMN uses<br />
the same load ratings as for conventional bearings.<br />
Examples of application<br />
• Spindles for machine tools:<br />
State of the art machining processes like high speed<br />
milling require a new concept of bearing arrangement<br />
for spindles. The application of hybrid bearings has<br />
resulted in a remarkable improvement of performance.<br />
For some years we at GMN have successfully used<br />
many spindles with hybrid bearings for our own<br />
production processes.<br />
• Special bearing arrangements:<br />
With vacuum pumps, reliability of the bearings is of<br />
utmost importance, as breakdown can result in high<br />
costs.<br />
More applications are:<br />
• Medical equipment like X-ray tube bearings<br />
• Touchdown bearings for magnetic bearings<br />
• <strong>Bearings</strong> for aeronautic and aerospace<br />
Summary<br />
When conventional bearings fail, the technological and<br />
economical solution is often to use hybrid bearings.<br />
It is important always to take the whole system into<br />
consideration and to carry out a “weak point” analysis.<br />
GMN is pleased to share its knowledge on this subject<br />
