How to choose bearing seat material
Nowadays, bearing housings are widely used, especially in cement, building materials, electric power, metallurgy or chemical industries, where they are used in a large amount. The raw materials used in the bearing housings produced by steel casting manufacturers are also different, which are mainly processed and customized according to the needs of customers. Bearing housings are made of cast iron, cast steel, stainless steel, etc. These different materials also have their own advantages and disadvantages. The choice of bearing seat material is mainly based on the mechanical equipment to be used, the surrounding environment used, and the service life.
Bearing housings made of cast iron have relatively low production costs, and are not durable, and will be eliminated after a period of time, so the market price is relatively cheap; bearing housings made of cast steel have a longer service life. And it is more wear-resistant, so the market quotation will be relatively higher. Some mechanical equipment should not use cast steel bearing seats, but insist on using cast steel bearing seats. When something goes wrong, other parts will be easily damaged; Most of them are used in the chemical industry, or in environments that are prone to corrosion.
