The following are the core processes and precautions for customizing non-standard bearing seats, combined with mechanical design specifications and engineering practice experience:
1、 Customized core process
1. Requirement analysis
Determination of key parameters:
Load characteristics: static load/dynamic load (direction and distribution should be specified)
Speed range: High speed and start stop frequency
Installation conditions: matching shaft diameter tolerance (such as H7/k6), installation space dimension chain
Environmental factors: temperature (-40 ℃~+200 ℃), humidity, corrosive media
2. Design confirmation
Structural scheme:
Split/integral structure selection (split is easy to maintain)
Bearing type adaptation (deep groove ball/tapered roller/self-aligning roller, etc.)
Finite element analysis: stress verification for high load scenarios (allowable stress ≤ 60% of material yield strength)
3. Material selection
Common materials:
Cast iron (HT200-HT300): Low cost, good vibration damping performance
Cast steel (ZG270-500): high strength, impact resistance
Aluminum alloy (ZL104): lightweight, suitable for high-speed scenarios
Surface Treatment
Blackening treatment (salt spray test ≥ 72 hours)
Spray coating/electrophoresis (film thickness ≥ 80 μ m)
4. Processing technology
Key process control:
Bearing hole machining: roundness ≤ 0.01mm, cylindricity ≤ 0.02mm
Joint surface flatness: ≤ 0.05mm/100mm
Thread hole accuracy: 6H level (GB/T 197)
5. Testing and verification
No load test run: 30 minutes of running in and out, temperature rise ≤ 30 ℃
Load test: Load to 1.5 times the rated load for 2 hours without deformation
Sealing test: IP65 waterproof (no leakage after 10 minutes of water spray test)
2、 Key precautions
1. Design specifications follow
Standard reference:
ISO 113:2019 (Dimensions of sliding bearing seats)
JB/T 2560-2014 (Split Bearing Seat)
Safety factor: Dynamic load safety factor ≥ 1.8, static load ≥ 2.5
2. Cooperate with precision control
Bearing and seat hole fit:
Interference fit: 0.01~0.03mm (adjusted according to bearing type)
Transition fit: Gap ≤ 0.01mm (for scenarios requiring slight adjustment)
3. Lubrication and sealing design
Lubrication system:
Lubricating with grease: equipped with an oil nozzle (M8 × 1.25), with a grease storage capacity of ≥ 1/3 of the bearing seat cavity
Oil lubrication: Set the oil level window (the low oil level is higher than the center of the ball under the bearing)
Sealing structure:
Double lip skeleton oil seal (lip fit 0.15~0.25mm)
Maze seal (gap ≤ 0.5mm)
4. Key points for installation and debugging
Central requirements:
Coupling alignment deviation ≤ 0.05mm (detected by laser alignment instrument)
The flatness of the bottom surface of the bearing seat is ≤ 0.02mm/m
Tightening torque:
Tighten high-strength bolts (grade 10.9) at 110% of the standard torque value
5. Cost control strategy
Material optimization: Adopting hollow structure for weight reduction (wall thickness ≥ 8mm)
Modular design: Reserve expansion interfaces (such as temperature measuring hole M10 × 1)
Processing economy: Avoid deep hole machining (L/D ≤ 5)
3、 Supplier selection suggestions
Technical Capability Verification:
Request to provide finite element analysis report for similar products
Confirm whether it has the capability of three coordinate detection (accuracy ≤ 0.005mm)
Process stability:
Examine the sand hole control of casting blanks (X-ray inspection)
Confirm the heat treatment process (such as quenching and tempering hardness HB220-250)
After-sales service
Request for installation and debugging guidance (including torque parameter table)
Warranty period ≥ 18 months (excluding vulnerable parts)

summary
Customization of non-standard bearing seats should follow the principles of "functional priority, controllable accuracy, and reasonable cost". It is recommended to use three-dimensional parametric design (such as SolidWorks) and establish a digital twin model for pre validation. During the production process, critical dimensions require First Article Full Scale Inspection (FSI) to ensure compliance with the drawing requirements.
