Vibration bearings

Vibration bearings are bearings specifically designed to reduce machine vibration and noise. It is different from ordinary bearings, which are usually equipped with many elastic elements, such as springs. When rotating, these elastic elements absorb vibrations and noise and prevent them from being transmitted to other parts of the machine. Therefore, vibration bearings are often used in machines with high-speed rotation and high-frequency vibration, such as aerospace engines and wind turbines.

The main differences between vibration bearings and ordinary bearings are reflected in the following aspects:

Structure and design: The structure and design of the vibration bearing are optimized for the vibration environment to cope with harsh working conditions such as vibration and shock. In contrast, ordinary bearings follow general engineering design points and pay more attention to the internal structure and specifications of the bearing.

Material selection: Vibration bearings usually use particularly hard and wear-resistant materials, such as carbide, ceramics or special steels. These materials help bearings function properly under harsh conditions such as high pressure, high temperature and friction. Ordinary bearings generally use ordinary metal materials and have relatively low requirements on material quality and manufacturing process.

Performance requirements: Since vibration bearings need to cope with harsher working environments, they have higher wear resistance and load-bearing capacity, as well as higher processing accuracy to ensure stability and long life. Ordinary bearings have relatively low performance requirements and are generally suitable for applications with smaller loads, lower speeds and less wear.
