What Are Hanger Bearings?
Hanger bearings are types of bearings responsible for supporting and guiding machine components. They play a role in reducing friction and vibration generated when the shaft rotates.
Used in various fields such as automotive, industrial machinery, and household appliances, they are incorporated into engines, suspensions, machine tools, washing machines, and more.
The operating principle involves filling lubricating oil between the shaft and the bearing to reduce friction. Their structure consists of a shaft, inner ring, outer ring, balls, and a retainer, enabling them to achieve high rotational accuracy while being compact and lightweight, and adaptable to shafts of different diameters. Key features include being compact, lightweight, and having high rotational accuracy, as well as being adaptable to shafts of different diameters.
When using them, attention must be paid to the fit between the shaft diameter and the bearing diameter, as well as ensuring proper lubrication oil filling.
