What are the key factors to consider in the design and manufacture of Self-Lubricating Scraper Bearing?- Haian Hengyi Sliding Bearings Co.,Ltd

When designing and manufacturing self-lubricating scraper bearings, several key factors need to be considered to ensure that they can operate effectively in different working environments and meet the requirements of high efficiency, long life and low maintenance. The following are some key factors that need to be focused on during the design and manufacturing process:

The key to self-lubricating bearings lies in their lubrication system. Common lubricating materials include graphite, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), copper-based alloys, polymer materials, etc. It is very important to choose the right lubricating material. The friction coefficient, temperature resistance, wear resistance and chemical stability of different materials vary greatly. When designing, it is necessary to select the right lubricant according to the working environment (such as high temperature, high pressure, chemical corrosion, etc.).
Lubricating materials usually exist in the form of coatings or embedded to ensure that the bearing surface maintains sufficient lubrication during operation. When designing, it is necessary to ensure that the lubricating material is evenly distributed to avoid insufficient lubrication or local excessive wear.
The load-bearing capacity of the lubricating material directly affects the durability of the bearing. When designing, it is necessary to consider the thickness of the lubricating layer and whether the lubricating material can maintain lubricity for a long time under high loads.
The base material of the bearing should have high strength and wear resistance. Common materials include copper alloys, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, etc. When designing, it is necessary to select a suitable substrate based on factors such as temperature, pressure and corrosiveness in the bearing working environment.
Self-lubricating scraper bearings often operate in high-friction and high-load environments, so their substrates need to have excellent wear resistance to reduce frequent replacement and maintenance.
In some harsh working environments (such as humid, chemically corrosive environments, etc.), the bearing material must have the ability to resist corrosion. Anti-corrosion treatment and the selection of alloy materials with corrosion-resistant properties are also factors that must be considered during design.
The bearing design must be able to withstand the expected loads, including static and dynamic loads. In the design of bearings, it is very important to calculate the maximum load capacity, friction and heat distribution.

The application scenarios of self-lubricating scraper bearings may include high temperature, low temperature, humidity, harsh dusty environments, etc. When designing, it is necessary to ensure that the bearings can work stably in these environments and provide sufficient lubrication.
The design of the bearing should take into account its speed and movement mode (such as rotation, sliding, etc.). Different movement modes have different requirements for lubrication methods, friction coefficients, wear resistance, etc.
The friction coefficient is an important parameter in the design of self-lubricating scraper bearings. The friction coefficient of the bearing should be as low as possible to reduce energy loss and wear, improve work efficiency and service life.
Bearings generate heat when working. Excessive temperature may cause the failure of lubricating materials or deformation of bearing materials. Therefore, it is necessary to design a suitable heat dissipation structure to ensure that the temperature of the bearing is controlled within a reasonable range during operation.
The size and shape of the bearing must match the size of the equipment in the application scenario. Too large size will increase material waste and cost, and too small size may not provide sufficient load-bearing capacity.
It is necessary to ensure that the self-lubricating scraper bearing can adapt to different scraper devices and working environments during design. For example, the shape of the scraper, the installation method of the bearing, etc. need to be adjusted according to the specific requirements of the equipment.
Some application scenarios may encounter high impact loads (such as mechanical impact, load fluctuations when the equipment starts, etc.). At this time, the bearing needs to have a certain impact resistance to avoid damage caused by impact.
In high-vibration environments (such as vibrating screens, rollers and other equipment), self-lubricating scraper bearings need to have sufficient vibration resistance to avoid lubrication failure or bearing damage caused by vibration.
Some industrial applications, such as high-temperature cleaning equipment or molten metal processing equipment, require bearings to withstand extreme high-temperature working conditions. Therefore, lubricating materials and base materials with good high temperature stability should be selected during design.
When working in a cold environment, the lubricating materials and base materials of the bearing need to be able to adapt to low temperatures and ensure that the lubrication effect is not frozen or ineffective.
