  • Ball Bearing Cages, Retainers, Ball Separators
    The ball bearing cage (also known as a ball bearing retainer or ball separator -- these are used interchangeably), is the component in a ball bearing, that separates the balls, maintains the balls symmetrical radial spacing, and, in most cases, holds the bearings together. Cages can also
  • Rotating Motion: The Role of Ball Bearings
    Ball bearings are mechanical components designed to reduce friction between moving parts while supporting rotary motion. They consist of an inner ring, an outer ring, and a set of steel or ceramic balls positioned between them. Balls made of steel or ceramic, are precisely spaced by a cage
  • Talk About Metal Cages
    Bearings are designed in several basic cage styles. The first style is actually no cage. This is generally called full complement. This means that there is no additional room to fit another ball. There will be a space between two of the balls that is smaller than one ball. There is usually a notch
  • Mastering the Mechanics: All About Thrust Ball Bearings
    A cage contains the balls while the grooved aligning seat washers guide them. Washers that have the shaft centered through them are called "shaft washers " and washers installed in the housing are called "housing washers. " Single Direction thrust ball bearings can take thrust or axial loads
  • Why Use Linear Guides and Ball Screws with Ball Chains?
    One of the differences between radial ball bearings and recirculating ball linear guides has historically been that radial bearings typically use a cage to separate the balls and control their movement, whereas profiled rail guides did not. But in the early 2000's, manufacturers of profiled rail
  • Design Characteristics of Radial Bearings
    Single row radial ball bearings with balls separated by a cage can support radial loads, axial loads and tilting moments. A full complement V-type ball bearing can support only radial loads and some low axial loads. Maximum permissible speeds for ball bearings are mainly related to the bearing
  • Thrust Bearings. An Introduction to the features of each type
    Thrust ball bearings are designed for supporting axial forces. Thrust bearings are used when axial forces are too high to be transmitted by the use of radial ball bearings or where rigidity for guidance is required. In general small and medium-sized thrust ball bearings when used in normal
  • Lubricant FAQs
    Most ball or roller bearings (except needle bearings and some thrust bearings) as large as 25" outside diameter or as small as 1/8" inside diameter can be lubricated with Cobra Solid Lubricant. However, the bearing and its cage should be metal with at least C3 internal clearance. Note
