Extending Your Knowledge: The Role of Bearing Shields
In the world of bearings, shields and seals serve distinct but important roles. A shield is typically a non-contact component that creates a narrow gap between the shield and the inner ring. While it effectively blocks larger particles and liquid splashes, it doesn't offer a complete seal. In contrast, a seal is a contact component that rubs against the inner ring, creating a much tighter barrier. Understanding this difference is key to selecting the right protective component for your specific operational needs.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between a stainless steel shield and a rubber seal?
A stainless steel shield is non-contact and is designed to protect against dust and debris while allowing for high-speed rotation. A rubber seal is a contact type that offers a more effective barrier against moisture and fine particles but may generate more friction.
2. Can you manufacture shields for high-temperature environments?
Yes, our stainless steel shields are inherently resistant to high temperatures. For extreme conditions, we can select specific stainless steel grades and processing methods to ensure performance and longevity.
3. What is the lead time for a custom order?
The lead time depends on the complexity and quantity of the order. We provide a detailed project timeline after reviewing your specific design requirements.
4. What types of stainless steel do you use?
We primarily use standard stainless steel grades like 304 or 316, but we can recommend other grades based on your application's corrosion and strength requirements.
