The criteria used to determine the bearing friction of ball bearings are very complex and is still the subject of detailed investigations.\nResearch and experience have identified some of the key factors on which bearing friction depends:<\/p>\n<\/div>
Dimensional precision, design and surface quality of the raceways<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Dimensional precision of the balls<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Material of the balls and rings<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Design, material and guidance of the cages<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Properties, quantity, quality, and distribution of the Lubricant<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Precision of the housing and shaft in or on which the bearings are installed<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
The fit tolerances used to set the clearance when installing the bearings<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Magnitude and direction of external loads<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>
Position of the ball bearing axis<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul>
The sensitivity of ball bearings is determined by the relative value of one or more of the following forces:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/i><\/span>\nStarting frictional torque<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/i><\/span>\nRunning frictional torque<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/i><\/span>\nFriction peaks<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul>In the majority of torque measuring instruments, the bearing to be measured is subjected to a pure axial load (which basically distributes the load on all balls within the bearing at the same time).<\/p>\n<\/div>The axial test load is:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/i><\/span>\n0.75 N for ball bearings with an outside diameter of up to and including 10 mm or up to .375″ for bearings in inch dimensions<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/i><\/span>\n4 N for ball bearings with an outside diameter of more than 10 mm or an outside diameter of more than .375″ for bearings in inch dimensions<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4705","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nReibung Miniaturkugellager -
