BEARING CLOSURESDate: 2015-10-07; view: 531. Rolling-element bearings are made with a wide variety of closures. Basically, they are open, shielded, or sealed (Figs. 3 and 4). Shielded bearings have a small clearance between the stationary shield and rotating ring. This provides reasonable exclusion of dirt without an Fig. 3 Fig. 4 increase in friction. Sealed bearings have a flexible lip (usually synthetic rubber) in contact with the inner ring. Friction is increased, but more effective retention of lubricant and exclusion of dirt is obtained. Seals should not be used to seal a fluid head or at high speeds.

Task 4. Answer the following questions: 1) What is rolling-contact bearing? 2) What parts of bearing can you name? 3) What is the main function of cage in a bearing? 4) A wide variety of rolling-contact bearings are normally manufactured to standard boundary dimensions and tolerances, aren't they? 5) What is a closure? Where can it be used? 6) There is a wide variety of closures. Name them. 7) Each basic type of bearing is furnished in several standard ‘‘series'', isn't it? 8) Sealed bearing has a rigid synthetic lip, isn't it?
