Bearings Identification

Dear Readers,

 

This is continuation with my earlier posts of Bearings. Now discuss about the bearings identification

 A bearing number has four parts to it which includes four numbers and a set of letters. Each of the first two numbers stand for something, the last two designate size. The letters dictate the variation of the bearing. These letters can also be followed by more letters designating internal clearance. In detail:

 First number (will be a 0-8) designates the bearing type:

 0 = Double row angular contact ball bearings

 1 = Self-aligning ball bearings

 2 = Spherical roller bearings, spherical roller thrust bearings

 3 = Tapered roller bearings

 4 = Double row deep groove ball bearings

 5 = Thrust ball bearings

 6 = Single row deep groove ball bearings

 7 = Single row angular contact ball bearings

 8 = Cylindrical roller thrust bearings

The second number designates the series, or cross section. This is basically equivalent to the second number of a tire rating, it's a ratio of the bore to the width of the bearing, which also controls the O.D. of the bearing. The larger the cross section, the larger the O.D. of the bearing.

 

 18 = Thin Section, Light

 19 = Thin Section, Medium

 0 = Very Light

 2 = Light

 3 = Medium

 4 = Heavy

The third number (which is a set of two numbers) indicates the bore (in mm) of the bearings. All bearings are designated with metric standards, not inches. Numbers are as follows:

 

00 = 10 mm

01 = 12 mm

02 = 15 mm

03 = 17 mm

 

For 20-480mm bore bearings: Last 2 digits x 5 = Bore (mm)

i.e.- if the bearing number was 04 (04 x 5 = 20 mm), 05 (05 x 5 = 25 mm)

The letters after the number indicate the variation. These change from manufacturer to manufacturer, but here are some of the common ones:

 

Plain -- No Shield

Type Z -- One Shield (normally will have metal shields)

Type 2Z -- Two Shields (one on each side)

Type RS1 -- One Seal (normally the R indicates rubber)

Type 2RS1 --Two Seals (one on each side)

 

Prefix and suffix abbreviation will be followed my next post

Fibre Rope

Dear Readers,

 

Fibre rope is made from either natural or synthetic fibres. The natural fibres come from plants and include manila, sisal and hemp. Synthetic fibres include nylon, polypropylene, polyethylene and polyester.

In the fabrication of fibre rope, a number of fibres of various plants are twisted together to form yarns, which are then twisted together in the opposite direction to the fibres to form strands. The strands are twisted in the opposite direction to the yarns to form the completed rope. The direction of twist of each element of the rope is known as the "lay" of that element. Twisting each element in the opposite direction puts the rope in balance and prevents its elements from unlaying when a load is suspended on it. The principal type of rope is the three-strand, right lay, in which three strands are twisted in a right-hand direction. Four-strand ropes, which are also available, are slightly heavier but are weaker than three-strand ropes of the same diameter.

Fibre ropes are made from following materials

1. Manila

2. Sisal

3. Hemp

4. Coir and Cotton

5. Jute

 

Details of above rope material will be discussed my next post

Unit Weight of Rectangle Hollow section- ASTM A 500

Dear Readers,

This is continuation with my earlier posts of hollow sections. You may familiar with square hollow and rectangle hollow sections. For hollow sections so many standards are available in world wide like.  Self would like to share the unit weight of Rectangle Hollow Section of ASTM A 500 Grade A & B, and it is an American Standard.

The sizes available are 38 X 19-Thickness 1 mm to 300 X 200-Thickness 12 mm. Unit Weight of RHS is below.Click on picture to enlarge the table.

Hope the table will be useful for all engineers.
