Sliding Bearings and Spherical Roller Bearings
1. High Load Capacity: The surface contact type of sliding bearings allows them to support substantial loads, with their load capacity increasing with speed. They are well-suited to handle dynamic and shock loads effectively.
Spherical Roller Bearing optimized by QIBR, these bearings can handle bidirectional axial loads and high radial loads, providing robust load-bearing capabilities.
2. Self-Aligning Capability: Featuring a spherical rolling raceway design, these bearings can self-align to compensate for shaft misalignment caused by installation errors or shifts during operation. As marine vessels experience waves and other external forces that affect shaft alignment, self-aligning spherical roller bearings help reduce wear and failure due to misalignment.
3. Excellent Vibration Resistance: Both sliding bearings and spherical roller bearings are effective at absorbing vibrations, resulting in smoother operation. Sliding bearings use a lubricating oil film to cushion vibrations, while spherical roller bearings enhance shock resistance through their design. This vibration resistance is crucial for marine engines operating in ocean environments, extending the equipment’s service life.
Additional Notes:
QIBR sliding bearings are particularly suited for use in humid or corrosive environments, while spherical roller bearings handle shaft misalignment due to vessel movement. By choosing QIBR’s sliding bearings and spherical roller bearings, the Indian customer effectively replaces KOYO bearings, meeting the stringent stability and reliability requirements of marine propulsion systems. QIBR’s products, with their high precision, load capacity, low friction, durability, and ease of maintenance, offer an ideal solution for marine engines, providing significant economic benefits and high profit potential for the customer.
