Miniature ball bearings typically have outer diameters ranging from a few millimetres to around 30mm, with inner diameters starting from a fraction of a millimetre and going up to 10mm or more.
Details
Overview:
Car wheel bearings are critical components that enable smooth and efficient rotation of the wheels on a vehicle. They are located at each wheel's hub assembly and are responsible for supporting the vehicle's weight while allowing the wheels to spin freely. Wheel bearings play a crucial role in maintaining vehicle stability, steering responsiveness, and overall safety.
Features and benefits:
- Durability and reliability
Product type and designs:
- Ball Bearings- Most car wheel bearings use ball bearings, which consist of steel balls arranged in a circular raceway. They allow for smooth rolling motion and are commonly used in passenger vehicles.
- Tapered Roller Bearings- Tapered roller bearings are designed to handle larger loads and are commonly used in trucks, SUVs, and commercial vehicles.
- Gen 3 Wheel Bearings- Gen 3 wheel bearings are advanced hub assemblies that integrate the bearing, wheel hub, and wheel speed sensor into a single unit. They are widely used in modern vehicles for ease of installation and maintenance.
Applications:
Here are examples of applications in which car wheel bearings might be used:
- Automotive
FAQ
-
What are the typical sizes of miniature ball bearings?
-
Can miniature ball bearings handle both radial and axial loads?
Yes, miniature ball bearings can handle both radial and axial loads, but their axial load-carrying capacity is relatively limited compared to their radial load capacity. -
Are miniature ball bearings suitable for high-speed applications?
Yes, miniature ball bearings are designed to handle high rotational speeds, making them ideal for devices and equipment that require rapid movement.
