Remember the three actions used in linear bearings to ensure efficient operation of the equipment

Why do equipment operators need to be familiar with the use of linear bearings?

With the increasing use of linear bearings in precision equipment or special machinery industries such as electronic equipment, food machinery, packaging machinery, medical machinery, printing machinery, textile machinery, machinery, instruments, robots, tool machinery, CNC machine tools, automobiles, and digital 3D coordinate measurement equipment. The correct use of bearings is already a necessary requirement.

Nowadays, more and more novel, unique, and complex new processes and equipment have emerged in the market. These sophisticated production and processing equipment have brought "higher, faster, and better" production modes to industry, while also accelerating the liberation of labor.

For factories, in order to use these equipment well, it is necessary to master the performance and operation of the equipment components, most of which cannot do without linear bearings. The emergence of bearing products can be said to have promoted the development of mechanical equipment, so in order for bearings to play their own role, it is still necessary for operators to use them correctly.

So, how can we use linear bearing products correctly?

In fact, to sum up, the six word solution is "installation, lubrication, and maintenance".

Firstly, it is necessary to do a good job in the installation of linear bearings. Due to different usage scenarios and differences in the parameters of supporting machinery, it is still better for a factory to have professional personnel to install bearing products for the first time. When installing bearings, it can significantly reduce the probability of accidents during use, while also ensuring the working condition of mechanical equipment.

For example, when installing a linear bearing onto the bearing seat, assembly aids should be used to avoid direct impact on the outer sleeve or sealing ring during installation. In addition, when inserting the shaft into the linear bearing, it is also necessary to carefully adjust the position of the shaft and bearing and align them.

Secondly, timely lubrication measures should be taken before use. Linear bearings play a role in the conversion and transmission of motion in mechanical equipment. If you want bearing products to have a long service life, it is necessary to lubricate the bearings in a timely manner to prevent insufficient lubrication and excessive friction.

For example, if anti-corrosion oil is injected into the interior of a linear bearing and lubricated with grease, first remove the anti-corrosion oil with kerosene or organic solvent, air dry it, and then add lubricating grease, etc.

Then, during and after use, the next thing that needs to be done is maintenance. Regardless of the type of linear bearing, in order to have a good working condition, maintenance and repair work cannot be lacking. After using the bearing product for a period of time, it should be regularly inspected and maintained. Carefully wipe the rust proof oil and seal it with lubricant before use, and avoid mixing lubricants with different properties together. Some work environments that are relatively poor require more attention.

Remember the three actions of "installation, lubrication, and maintenance" in order to improve the performance of linear bearings.
