What Is a V Groove Bearing?
A V groove bearing facilitates outer ring rotation in various applications, including sliding doors and conveyor rollers.
These bearings are crucial for altering the direction of wires or cables and minimizing friction and wear in sliding components, such as sliding doors. While attaching V groove pulleys to the bearing’s outer ring offers a similar function, it compromises the design’s compactness.
Conversely, V groove bearings, integrated directly into the bearing’s outer ring, support compact designs. With a wide range of dimensions and materials available, selecting the appropriate V groove bearing requires careful consideration of the mating part’s material and cost considerations.
