Advantages of Shielded Bearings Compared with Other Bearings
1. Protection from Contaminants: One of the primary advantages of shielded bearings is their ability to protect the rolling elements and raceways from dirt, dust, and other contaminants. While they are not entirely sealed off from the environment, the shields are highly effective at preventing large particles from entering the bearing assembly.2. Reduced Lubricant Leakage: Compared to open bearings, shielded bearings are better at retaining grease or other lubricants within the bearing. This helps maintain proper lubrication over an extended period, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and re-lubrication.

3. Longer Service Life: Shielded bearings often boast a longer service life by effectively preventing contaminants from entering and retaining lubrication. This is particularly beneficial in applications where bearings are subjected to harsh conditions.

4. Lower Friction: Shielded bearings typically exhibit lower friction than sealed bearings. The shields do not contact the inner ring, cage, or balls. Lower friction often translates to higher efficiency and less energy consumption in machinery.

5. Easier Maintenance and Handling: Since shielded bearings do not have seals that contact the rolling elements, they are generally easier to handle and maintain. They can be cleaned and inspected with less difficulty, which is beneficial in environments where bearings need to be regularly checked for wear and damage.

6. Cost-Effectiveness: Shielded bearings can be more cost-effective than sealed bearings because they typically require less stringent manufacturing processes for the shielding compared to sealing. This can make them a more economical option when conditions do not need full sealing protection.

7. Suitable for High-Speed Applications: Shielded bearings are often preferred in high-speed applications because they generate less heat due to reduced friction. Sealed bearings, by contrast, might not perform as well under high-speed conditions due to increased friction from seal contact.

8. Versatility: They are suitable for a wide range of applications. While they are not ideal for extremely dirty or wet environments (where sealed bearings might be preferable), they work well in various general engineering and industrial applications.

9. Availability: Shielded bearings are widely available in various sizes and designs, making them easy to integrate into numerous types of equipment without requiring special adjustments or components.

What are Shielded Bearings?

Shielded Bearings are bearings that are specially designed to provide electromagnetic shielding. Its characteristic is that a shielding layer is added to the bearing structure, which can effectively reduce or eliminate the impact of electromagnetic interference on the bearing operation, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the bearing. This kind of bearing also usually has good sealing performance, which can prevent external contaminants and moisture from entering the inside of the bearing, thereby extending the service life of the bearing. The manufacturing process of shielded bearings requires high-precision processing technology to ensure that the various components of the bearing can accurately fit and improve the operating accuracy of the bearing. In industrial automation, power electronics, aerospace, and other fields, shielded bearings are widely used due to their unique electromagnetic shielding performance and long life.

Correct selection and use of Shielded Bearings

The Right Choice for Shielded Bearings

Understand application requirements:
First, clarify the specific requirements of your equipment or system for bearings, including load, speed, working environment (such as temperature, humidity, pollutants, etc.), and electromagnetic environment.
Evaluate whether electromagnetic shielding is required and what level of shielding effectiveness is required.
Choose the right type and size:
According to the application requirements, select the appropriate bearing type (deep groove ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, etc.) and specifications (such as inner diameter, outer diameter, width, etc.).
Ensure the load and speed ratings of the selected bearings meet or exceed your application needs.
Consider materials and coatings:
Select a bearing material suitable for the working environment and consider factors such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and thermal stability.
Special coatings or surface treatments may be considered if additional electromagnetic shielding or corrosion protection is required.
Refer to manufacturer recommendations:
Communicate with shielded bearing manufacturers to learn about their product features and recommended applications.
Use the manufacturer’s recommendations and specifications to select the bearing best suits your application.

Correct use of Shielded Bearings

Install correctly:
Follow the installation guidelines and recommendations provided by the manufacturer to ensure that the bearings are installed correctly and to the intended accuracy.
Use appropriate tools and methods to avoid damaging the bearing or affecting its performance during installation.
Maintenance and care:
Check and maintain bearings regularly to ensure they are in good working order.
Perform necessary lubrication and cleaning according to manufacturer’s recommendations to extend bearing life.
Pay attention to the electromagnetic environment:
Avoid the influence of strong electromagnetic fields or electromagnetic interference sources when using shielded bearings.
If possible, appropriate electromagnetic shielding measures should be taken to improve the electromagnetic performance of the bearing further.
Logging and monitoring:
Record bearing usage and performance data so potential problems can be identified and dealt with promptly.
A monitoring system is used to track the condition of the bearing in real time to ensure it maintains optimal performance throughout its use.
