"We stock rolling bearings from the brands FUD, NSK, RHP, SKF, FAG, INA, ZYS, KRW and many more.

The following aspects must be taken into account when selecting the right ball bearing:

Loads and stresses: Determine the radial and axial load to which the bearing will be subjected. The load carrying capacity of the bearing should exceed the expected loads.
Speed: Take into account the rotational speed of your application. High speeds require bearings with special lubricants and designs.
Environmental conditions: Your working environment, temperature, humidity and dirt can influence the choice of the right bearing. Corrosion-resistant bearings are required in aggressive environments.
Accuracy: For precision applications, bearings with higher accuracy of form and position tolerances are required.
Alignment: If your shafts or axles are not perfectly aligned, self-alignment functions of the bearing may be necessary.
Type of application: Depending on whether a radial or axial load, a combined load or a linear movement is involved, different bearing types are required.

Factors that influence the service life of rolling bearings/ball bearings:

Loads and speed: Higher loads and speeds can reduce the service life.
Lubrication: Correct lubrication is crucial. Incorrect or insufficient lubrication can lead to premature wear.
Contamination: Dust, dirt or foreign bodies in the bearings can impair the tribological properties.
Corrosion: Moisture or aggressive environments tend to corrode the bearing components.
Assembly quality: Improper assembly can lead to premature wear or damaged bearings.

Assembly and maintenance:

Mounting: Ensure that the bearings are properly mounted in the housings and on the shafts. Use suitable tools and methods to avoid damage.
Lubrication: Use the recommended lubricant and adhere to the lubrication intervals. Excessive lubrication can be just as damaging as insufficient lubrication.
Seals: Seals protect against dirt and moisture. Keep them in good condition and replace them if necessary.
Inspection: Regularly monitor the condition of the bearings. Pay attention to unusual noises, vibrations or heating.
Replacement: Replace bearings in good time if they show signs of wear or damage.
Training: Ensure that the personnel responsible for installation and maintenance are adequately trained.
