CW Bearing’s four-point bearings are designed with a solid inner ring, giving them an external appearance similar to deep groove ball bearings. The key distinction lies in the inner construction, which features a gothic arch profile. This combination of a gothic arch profile and a solid inner ring results in a robust and efficient bearing, providing four contact points between the rings and the balls. This design effectively accommodates both axial and radial loads on both sides of the bearing. The internal architecture is where the significant differences reside.
Features & Benefits
- Solid Inner Ring: The solid inner ring enhances the overall strength and durability of the bearing, ensuring it can withstand demanding operational conditions.
- Gothic Arch Profile: The unique gothic arch profile of the inner construction is a defining characteristic of our four-point bearings. This design allows for more efficient load distribution across the bearing.
- Four Contact Points: The gothic arch profile facilitates four distinct contact points between the rings and the balls. This configuration is crucial as it enhances the bearing’s ability to support loads in multiple directions.
- Load Accommodation: The design allows our four-point bearings to effectively accommodate both axial and radial loads from both sides. This capability makes them versatile and suitable for various applications.
- Enhanced Stability: With four contact points, these bearings provide increased stability and balance, reducing the risk of misalignment and extending service life.
- Compact Design: Despite their robust load-bearing capabilities, four-point bearings maintain a compact design, making them ideal for applications with space constraints.
