Bearings for Power Generators
Wortice works with the manufacture and maintenance of bearings for power generators according to the requirements of each customer. Bearings for power generators are components of a power generator used for fixed support of shafts.
We offer maintenance and manufacturing services for parts and components for several types of bearings for power generators, such as:
- Sleeve bearings for power generators
- Roller bearings for power generators
What are Bearings for Power Generators?
Bearings for power generators are components that support a shaft and allow normally rotational or linear motion.
Bearings for power generators can be grouped by the way they work. There are several types of bearings for power generators, however, the most common are rolling bearings and plain bearings for power generators
We can say that bearings for power generators are mechanical components developed to allow the support of a shaft while it rotates, with the aim of always keeping it in its original position.
The factors that influence the choice of bearings for power generators are:
- Load capacity
- Lifespan
- Available space
- Working speed
- Precision
- Noise level
- Stiffness
- Axial displacement
- Misalignment
- Easy assembly
- Easy disassembly
Types of Bearings for Power Generators
Rolling Bearing for Power Generators
When the bearing has a rolling, it’s called a rolling bearing, and due to the rolling friction in the rolling bearings, the moving surfaces are separated by balls or rollers and then, the friction rub is replaced by the rolling friction.
As the contact area is small and the stresses are high, the rotating parts of the bearings are made of hard, high-strength materials.
The biggest advantage of rolling bearings for power generators is that the friction at start-up is small and practically equal to the running friction, in contrast to the high initial metal-on-metal friction of plain bearings.
According to the type of effort, we can classify the bearings into:
- Roller bearings for power generators for radial loads
Sliding Bearing for Power Generators
When the bearing has a bushing, it’s called a plain bearing, due to the type of friction which, in this case, is sliding. Sleeve bearings have a bushing that has the function of receiving direct friction with the shaft surface. According to the type of effort, we can classify the bearings into:
- Sleeve bearings for power generators for radial loads
- Sleeve bearings for power generators for axial loads
Bushings are generally cylindrical and made of patent metal, and have a hole to allow the lubricating oil to pass through. They may also have slots to improve the passage of the lubricant.
