What is the bearing gland
Bearing gland: When the bearing is installed in the hole, it needs to be fixed. Generally speaking, the inner side is directly the step of the box, and the outer side needs to install the bearing inward. Therefore, there should be no steps, so a bearing cover should be made to fix the bearing. There is a circle of bolts on the outside to fix it on the box.
The function of the bearing gland is to:
(1) The bearing gland is generally used for axial positioning of bearings and ensures sufficient centering accuracy to ensure normal working conditions of the bearings.
(2) The hole at a radius of 60mm can be used for installing oil seals, serving as a sealing effect to prevent liquid leakage in the coupling, ensuring good lubrication of the bearing and increasing its service life.
(3) Sometimes bearing glands can also be used to withstand a certain amount of torque or torque.
The function is to position the outer ring of the bearing axially. When installing, first install the inner hole of the bearing onto the shaft. After assembling the parts on the shaft, install the reducer according to the positioning position, and then fix the end cover on the base with bolts. The following figure shows the assembly diagram of a typical thrust ball bearing, with the end cap in the red oval ring, indicating the fit of the end cap, sealing device, shaft, and thrust ball bearing.
