Driven Product Finder & Current Prices
A
new series of hydro-dynamic pressure bearings from Sterling Instrument (an
ISO 9001 manufacturer) feature a 30% weight saving along with lower cost
when compared with conventional ball bearings. They fulfill the need for a
long-lasting bearing capable of high speed, quiet operation and suitable
for light application use, such as compact fan motors, paper feeders in
copying machines and printers, laptop computers, micromotors, etc. The
bearings, identified as the S99HDPM Series, are formed by stacking
"petal shaped" laminated Aluminum-Silicon alloy plates that are
housed in a Stainless Steel case with a polyurea-thickened grease
containing antioxidant and anticorrosion additives. The inner faces of
these laminated plates act as the bore of the assembled bearing.
When the
shaft rotates in this state, a fluid between the shaft guide and the shaft
generates pressure as a result of the "squeeze effect" - a
phenomenon of generating pressure to a lubricating membrane in a fluid
lubrication when wall faces are close to each other.
The 7 bearings in the
series have I.D.'s ranging from 1 to 6 mm and an impressive maximum speed
range of from 6000 to 20000 rpm.
