Reduce Costs, Streamline Production, Support Design Innovation
with Custom Bearings
#DWwebinar
q How to compare standard and custom bearings for the most cost-effective solution
q Why custom bearings are not always cost prohibitive q Design innovations that are only possible with a custom
bearing q How you can use custom bearings to reduce costs and
streamline production from design to supply chain management
Overview
#DWwebinar
q Bearing type q Loads and speeds q Operating environment
The Bearing Selection Process
✓ ✓ ✓
#DWwebinar
q Carry loads heavier than necessary
q Are capable of speeds in excess of need
q Are manufactured to tighter-than necessary tolerances
Standard Bearings:
#DWwebinar
q More expensive than necessary q Unnecessarily complex q Over-sized q Constraint to design innovation
Over-specified Standard Bearing
#DWwebinar
Bearings Basics: Foundational Considerations
#DWwebinar
q Is it Thrust, Radial or Angular Contact?
Identify the Bearing Type
Thrust Radial Angular
#DWwebinar
q Choose the appropriate rolling element
Define Loads and Speeds
Plain Ball Roller/Needle
#DWwebinar
Temperature Corrosion Contamination
Operating Environment
#DWwebinar
q Carrying capacity in excess of requirements? q Requiring a change in the size or shape of the mounting,
mating components? q Ability to eliminate or reduce # of components? q Is the lifecycle of the bearing greater or less than your
product’s lifecycle? q Large minimum order quantity?
Standard vs. Custom Comparison
#DWwebinar
Opportunities for Value Engineering Through Bearing Customization
#DWwebinar
Standard bearings are made of a full complement of components. Custom bearings provide only the components needed for an application.
Simplify Bearing Design — Reduce Bearing Complexity
Standard Thrust Bearing Custom Bearing Retainer Only
