1.  Characteristics of Various of Bearings

2.  Material

- The rings, balls, needles and rollers of MVB bearings can be made of refining bearing steel AISI52100, stainless steel AISI440C, AISI420, etc.

- Cages are normally punch-pressed from brass strips H62 or steel strips 08, SPCC BQB402, as well as stainless steel strips AISI304, AISI302, fiber reinforced phenolic resin, plastics or copper stock, etc;

- The shields can be made of Japanese SPCC JISG3141 or stainless steel AISI304 or AISI302.

- Seals: synthetic rubber hot pressed with phosphatizing steel (AISI304 or AISI302 may used for stainless steel bearings) skeleton

The chemical composition of bearing steel and stainless steel are listed as follows:

Steel No. c% Si% Mn% S% P% Cr%
AISI52100 0.95-1.05 0.15-0.3 0.25-0.45 <0.025 <0.025 1.3-1.6
AISI440C 0.90-1.05 <0.8 <0.8

<0.04

<0.03 16-19

5.  Deep Groove Ball Bearing's Vibration and Noise Class

The vibration and noise of deep groove ball bearings are normally classified as Z1, Z2(higher class than Z1), and Z3 (highest class). It is usually measured by instrument of SO910-1. While for bearings used for electric motors, the vibration & noise is measured by BVT-1 and classified as EMQ ZV1, ZV2 and ZV3. Customer needs to mark the requirement of vibration and noise class in order.

Bearing Vibration speed Grade can not be over the following Values(dB)
