Scraper Bearings: Components and Bearings
Scraper machines dig, carry and dump dirt using auto and towed scrapers. This important equipment needs bearing components to work correctly and perform reliably.
WD Bearings has some of the best bearings for scrapers on the market. We make our bearings with quality materials for consistency and reliability with every part. Our team has extensive experience providing bearings for scraping machinery manufacturers.
What Are Bearings for Scrapers?
Bearings are engineered, precision-made components that enable linear motion and rotation to reduce the friction between moving parts. With these parts, scrapers and other machinery can carry loads and move at high speeds.
Many types of bearings are available for the parts of the scraper that rotate. For example, wheel bearings for scrapers are designed for the components of the wheel. These bearings help the wheel or other scraper parts rotate at high speeds with minimal vibration and noise.
The Physical Influence of Heavy-Duty Bearings for Scrapers
Bearings are essential for scrapers to operate properly. They reduce friction between parts to ensure smooth operation. Other physical factors to consider for scraper bearings include:
Overall Bearing Life
Bearing life is how long the bearing is expected to function before needing to be replaced. The load weight, operating conditions, lubrication and maintenance of the scraper are some factors that influence overall bearing life. Bearings from WD Bearings are designed to last for a long time with proper installation and maintenance.
Fracture Resistance
Fracture resistance is the bearing's ability to withstand forces like loads, vibrations and impacts without breaking or fracturing. WD Bearings designs our bearings for scrapers to have the strength and durability to last in various circumstances and forces. Fracture resistance also means you can expect your wheel bearings to last a long time.
Product Consistency
Bearings for scrapers must be consistent in material composition and dimensions. Consistency makes the bearings more reliable and reduces friction, failure and uneven wear. WD Bearings values consistency and uniformity when manufacturing bearings.
Common Bearing Types
Many distinct types of bearings exist, and their characteristics are suited to unique applications. Common bearings for scrapers include:
-
Tapered roller bearings: Tapered roller bearings feature a cup and cone assembly with a tapered cylinder to provide the rolling function. These precision bearings support simultaneous axial and radial loading and facilitate low friction during operation. You can use tapered roller bearings in a scraper's transmission, gearbox and other areas.
-
Deep groove ball bearings: Deep groove ball bearings use a ball or sphere for rolling to facilitate high speed and low friction during operation with light to medium radial and axial loads. You can also use deep groove ball bearings 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.
