Reduce Costs, Streamline Production, Support Design Innovation

with Custom Bearings

#DWwebinar

q  How to compare standard and custom bearings for the most cost-effective solution

q  Why custom bearings are not always cost prohibitive q  Design innovations that are only possible with a custom

bearing q  How you can use custom bearings to reduce costs and

streamline production from design to supply chain management

Overview

#DWwebinar

q  Bearing type q  Loads and speeds q  Operating environment

The Bearing Selection Process

✓ ✓ ✓

#DWwebinar

q  Carry loads heavier than necessary

q  Are capable of speeds in excess of need

q  Are manufactured to tighter-than necessary tolerances

Standard Bearings:

#DWwebinar

q  More expensive than necessary q  Unnecessarily complex q  Over-sized q  Constraint to design innovation

Over-specified Standard Bearing

Bearings Basics: Foundational Considerations

#DWwebinar

q  Is it Thrust, Radial or Angular Contact?

Identify the Bearing Type

Thrust Radial Angular

#DWwebinar

q  Choose the appropriate rolling element

Define Loads and Speeds

Plain Ball Roller/Needle

#DWwebinar

Temperature Corrosion Contamination

Operating Environment

#DWwebinar

q  Carrying capacity in excess of requirements? q  Requiring a change in the size or shape of the mounting,

mating components? q  Ability to eliminate or reduce # of components? q  Is the lifecycle of the bearing greater or less than your

product’s lifecycle? q  Large minimum order quantity?

Standard vs. Custom Comparison

#DWwebinar

Opportunities for Value Engineering Through Bearing Customization

#DWwebinar

Standard bearings are made of a full complement of components. Custom bearings provide only the components needed for an application.

Simplify Bearing Design — Reduce Bearing Complexity

Standard Thrust Bearing Custom Bearing Retainer Only
