An industry leader, SKF Chicago Rawhide manufactures a wide range of industrial seals and bearings for a myriad of industries and applications. Chicago Rawhide ball bearings feature, of course, a rolling element that serves three primary functions as it facilitates movement. Those functions are: carrying loads, reducing friction, and positioning moving parts of the machine. These ball bearings also make use of bearing rings, or two separate races, that serve to reduce surface contact and friction across moving planes.
SKF Chicago Rawhide produces many types of ball bearings, each suited to different purposes. Those types include:
-
Deep Groove Ball Bearings
-
Self-Aligning Ball Bearings
-
Angular Contact Ball Bearings
-
Tapered Roller Bearings
-
Spherical Roller Bearings
-
Thrust Ball Bearings
-
And more!
Chicago Rawhide ball bearings provide very low friction while rolling, but they have a limited load-carrying capacity. This is due to the fact that they have a small area of contact between the rolling balls and the races. They can support axial loads in both directions, and are often used for controlling oscillatory and rotational motion within machines and systems.
Ball bearings are used in most applications that require moving parts, and some of these applications have specific requirements that necessitate the use of different types of ball bearings. Applications are nearly endless, ranging from a railroad locomotive to a fidget spinner toy.
