Excavator Bearings: Components and Bearings
Excavators dig and transport materials to the stockyard. This equipment saves manual labor and increases the efficiency of projects by making excavation tasks easier. WD Bearings has replacement bearings for excavators to reduce friction between moving parts for smooth operation.
What Is an Excavator Bearing?
A bearing in an excavator is fixed between two moving parts to allow these parts to rotate or move in a linear or rotational direction while reducing friction. These components are engineered and precision-made to allow excavators to move heavy loads and move at high speeds while maintaining ease of operation and efficiency.
The best bearings for excavators are precise, reliable and durable, allowing the excavator's parts to rotate with minimal noise and vibration. WD Bearings manufactures these parts with precision and accuracy to ensure they perform as expected in excavators.
The Physical Influence of Heavy-Duty Bearings for Excavators
Bearings have a significant influence on the performance of an excavator. Some factors to consider when choosing a bearing include rate of speed, noise level, anti-wear properties and corrosion resistance, as well as:
-
Overall bearing life: Bearings for excavators have an expected life span before needing replacing. The longevity of your excavators' bearings is influenced by various factors, like the load placed on them, operating conditions, lubrication and maintenance. Bearings from WD Bearings are made to last with proper maintenance to keep your excavators efficient.
-
Product consistency: Each bearing in an excavator must be uniform for the utmost reliability. Product consistency in bearings allows the excavator to work as expected without issues like friction. WD Bearings is an established bearing manufacturer with strict quality standards to ensure each product is the same.
-
Fracture resistance: Bearings in an excavator must resist high forces and extreme conditions without breaking — this quality is a bearing's fracture resistance. Since this machinery must push heavy materials and endure vibrations and impacts during operation, the bearings must also endure these conditions. WD Bearings manufactures bearings with high fracture resistance, so your machines can rely on our components during rigorous operations.
Common Types of Bearings for Excavators
The most common bearings for excavators include:
Tapered Roller Bearings
Tapered roller bearings support simultaneous axial and radial loads and reduce friction during operation. The cup and cone assembly has outer and inner rings, and a tapered cylinder provides the rolling function.
Deep Groove Ball Bearings
Deep groove ball bearings have balls that facilitate the rolling function. These bearings support light to medium radial and axial loads and high-speed operation while reducing friction. The grooves in the inner and outer rings have a radius slightly larger than the balls. This type of bearing is common for low-noise and -vibration applications.
Needle Roller Bearings
Needle roller bearings contain multiple small and elongated cylindrical rollers, providing a large contact area with rotating surfaces. This continuous contact means you can spread heavy loads over a greater surface area.
