The difference between rolling bearing cages, nylon cages, and plastic cages

The difference between rolling bearing cages, nylon cages, and plastic cages

The function and structural characteristics of bearing cage

1. The cage evenly separates the rolling elements and distributes them evenly on the circumference of the raceway

2. Guide and drive the rolling element to roll on the correct raceway,

3. In separable bearings, combine the rolling element with the ring to prevent the rolling element from falling off.

The function and structural characteristics of nylon cage

(1) The cage separates the rolling elements equally and evenly distributes them on the circumference of the raceway to prevent collision and friction between the rolling elements during operation;

(2) Guide and drive the rolling element to roll on the correct raceway;

(3) In separated bearings, the rolling element is combined with a ring to prevent the rolling element from falling off.

The function and structural characteristics of plastic cages

1. Great flexibility in product design.

The centrifugal force of the cage is very small.

3. Anti friction and wear resistance, low bearing temperature rise.

4. Plastic cages have good toughness, impact resistance, and fracture resistance.

5. Acid resistance and corrosion resistance: The acid resistance and corrosion resistance of engineering plastics are significantly better than those of metals.
