Bearing data plays a critical role in ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of mechanical systems. To perform effectively, bearing materials must possess several essential properties that contribute to their durability, performance, and reliability. Below are the key functions that bearing data should have:
1. **Collision Compatibility**
The shaft diameter and bearing bush must be compatible to avoid seizure and ensure smooth operation. Factors affecting this compatibility include:
- The difficulty of forming alloys through metallurgical processes.
- The affinity between materials and lubricants.
- The conflict factor in the absence of smoothness.
- Microscopic structure of the material.
- Thermal conductivity.
- Surface size and oxide film characteristics.
2. **Clampability**
The material should allow hard particles to be trapped within the lubricant, preventing scratching or wear. Softer materials generally offer better clampability. For example, metals with low hardness and elasticity are ideal, while non-metallic materials like carbon graphite may not clamp well.
3. **Running-in Property**
During the initial operation phase, the contact surface between the shaft and the bearing bush should gradually improve in terms of alignment, coaxiality, and surface roughness. This leads to more uniform contact and reduces friction and wear.
4. **Compliance with Contact**
The material should be able to undergo elastoplastic deformation to compensate for initial misalignment and axial deflection. Materials with lower elastic modulus tend to perform better in this regard.
5. **Wear Resistance**
The ability of the material to resist wear is crucial. Under normal operating conditions, wear resistance can be measured by the rate of wear or the amount of material loss over time.
6. **Fatigue Resistance**
Bearings are often subjected to cyclic loading, so the material must be able to resist fatigue damage. Strength, hardness, impact resistance, and microstructure uniformity are all important factors. Materials with good running-in and clamping properties typically show better fatigue resistance.
7. **Corrosion Resistance**
Bearings must resist corrosion caused by oxidation of lubricating oil and the presence of acidic substances or extreme pressure additives. Corrosion-resistant materials are essential to maintain performance and longevity.
8. **Cavitation Resistance**
When bubbles in the lubricant collapse near the bearing surface, high pressure and temperature can cause cavitation wear. Materials like copper-lead alloy, tin-based bearing alloys, and aluminum-zinc-silicon alloys are known for their good cavitation resistance.
9. **Compressive Strength**
The material must withstand unidirectional loads without deforming or losing its structural integrity.
