Different types and load directions
Flange deep groove ball bearing
Flange deep groove ball bearing are the most common type of rolling bearings. Mainly bear radial load, but also can bear radial load and axial load at the same time. When it only bears radial load, the contact angle is zero. When the deep groove ball bearing has a large radial clearance, it has the performance of an angular contact bearing and can bear a large axial load. The friction coefficient of the deep groove ball bearing is very small and the limit speed is also high.

 

Angular contact ball bearings
There is a contact angle between the ring and the ball. The standard contact angles are 15/25 and 40 degrees. The larger the contact angle, the greater the axial load capacity. The smaller the contact angle, the more conducive to high-speed rotation. Single row bearings can withstand radial load and unidirectional axial load, db combination, df combination and double row angular contact ball bearings can bear radial load and bidirectional axial load, dt combination is suitable for large unidirectional axial load and the rated load of a single bearing for insufficient occasions, ach type bearings are used at high speeds, which have small ball diameters and many balls, and are mostly used for machine tool spindles. In general, angular contact ball bearings are suitable for high-speed, high-precision rotating occasions.

 

Differences in structure
Flange deep groove ball bearing and angular contact ball bearings with the same inner and outer diameter and width dimensions have the same inner ring size and structure, but the outer ring size and structure are different:
1. Flange deep groove ball bearing have double shoulders on both sides of the outer ring groove, while angular contact ball bearings generally have single shoulders;
2. The curvature of the outer ring of flange deep groove ball bearing is different from that of angular contact balls, the latter is often greater than the former;
3. The position of the outer ring of the deep groove ball bearing is different from that of the angular contact ball bearing. The specific value of the non-central position is considered during the design of the angular contact ball bearing and is related to the degree of contact angle;

In terms of use:
1. The two uses are different. Flange deep groove ball bearing are suitable for bearing radial forces, smaller axial forces, combined radial loads and moment loads, while angular contact ball bearings can bear single radial loads and larger shafts. Directional load (different with different contact angles), double paired (different with different matching methods) can bear bidirectional axial load and moment load.
2. The limiting speed is different. The limiting speed of angular contact ball bearings of the same size is higher than that of flange deep groove ball bearing.

 

Materials Used In Balls In Flange Deep Groove Ball Bearing

 

Roller Bearing Steel 1.3505/100Cr6
Metal flange deep groove ball bearing typically use hardened steel for the balls. Chrome steel, which contains approximately 1% carbon and 1.5% chromium, is a common material for these bearings due to its durability and performance.
Martensitic chrome steel balls are ideal for flange deep groove ball bearing due to their stability and durability during continuous operation. These balls are robust and resistant to wear. Roller bearing steel, used for needle and cylindrical rollers, also offers durability and resistance to corrosion, making it well-suited for demanding applications.

 

Stainless Steel 1.4401 and 14401
This material is used for plastic flange deep groove ball bearing, which feature stainless steel balls that are not hardened. These balls are highly resistant to corrosion, including saltwater and alkalis. Unlike hardened steel balls, which are unsuitable for flange deep groove ball bearing, stainless steel balls are used due to their compatibility with the plastic ring material. The strength of the plastic limits the maximum load capacity of the bearings. Stainless steel balls are also more cost-effective compared to glass balls.

 

Soda-Lime Glass
Glass balls are used in metal-free ball bearings, especially when high chemical resistance is required. Soda-lime glass, commonly used in bottles, flat glass, and drinking glasses, is also utilized for ball bearings. It offers good chemical resistance, making it suitable for bearings exposed to mild chemical stress. However, it is not ideal for severe chemical environments. Soda-lime glass is sometimes referred to as "lemon glass" due to its light green hue.

 

Borosilicate Glass
Borosilicate glass is significantly more expensive than soda-lime glass but offers superior chemical resistance, making it suitable for applications involving strong acids. The advantages of borosilicate glass are outlined below:

  • Excellent heat resistance and also resistance to temperature changes
  • Mechanical stability
  • Very low coefficient of linear expansion
  • Aluminum Oxide

Ceramic ball bearings use balls made from aluminum oxide, also known as oxide ceramics, which have a polycrystalline structure. These ceramic balls are lightweight and offer excellent properties such as high resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and heat.
They are highly resistant to corrosion from water, acids, and salt solutions but should avoid contact with hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, strong alkaline solutions, and warm sulfuric acid. Additionally, these ceramic balls are self-lubricating and electrically insulating. They are typically white to ivory in color and are manufactured according to ASTM F 2094 Class II/III standards.

 

Silicon Nitride
Balls made from silicon nitride ceramic are lightweight yet exceptionally tough and corrosion-resistant. While they are highly resistant to many acids and base solutions, they can be affected by certain corrosive substances. Silicon nitride also has insulating properties. These balls are self-lubricating and exhibit excellent resistance to temperature fluctuations, which can be beneficial for performance. However, silicon nitride balls are significantly more expensive than those made from aluminum oxide. They typically have a black, mother-of-pearl color.
