New device for measuring the rolling bearings

Abstract

When repairing automotive components, it is often necessary to solve the issue of re-using rolling bearings within acceptable dimensions. Factories have stopped producing inexpensive devices for repair needs, and when repairing equipment, all rolling bearings are often replaced with new ones, although some old bearings can work reliably until the next repair. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in expanding the functionality of the existing device for measuring the radial clearance in bearings, developing drawings and applying a patent for a device where it is possible to increase the accuracy of measurement in rolling bearings. (Materials and methods) Authors have created technological equipment that allows to reduce the cost of repairs by reusing old parts within acceptable dimensions. (Results and discussion) The article presents the drawings for manufacturing a device for measuring deviations of bearing parameters and patent N 137925 dated February 5, 2014. The device allows to measure radial and axial clearance in the bearings, crater wear on treadmills, ball, ellipse parts (gears, pulleys) and beating of parts in a horizontal plane. (Conclusion) The use of this device allows measuring the bearing clearances quickly and with high precision. The device is simple in design and manufacture, versatile, performs several operations, has small dimensions and high reliability. It reduces the time and labor required for monitoring, reduces the cost of repairs and improves the quality of repairs by increasing the resource of repaired parts.
