What are the main differences between textile bearings and ordinary bearings?

1. Materials and corrosion resistance
Textile bearings are often made of 316L stainless steel or chrome-plated to resist the erosion of acid and alkali steam and dye residues in textile workshops. The sealing structure design can effectively prevent foreign matter such as flying flowers and cotton wool from invading the rolling element to avoid the risk of jamming. Ordinary bearings are mostly made of ordinary carbon steel or low-alloy steel, which has limited rust prevention and needs to rely on external coating or regular maintenance.

2. High speed and low friction performance
Textile bearings reduce the moment of inertia through lightweight cages. The wire roller bearing can reach 22,500 rpm, and the friction coefficient is more than 40% lower than that of ordinary bearings. Although ordinary bearings have a low friction coefficient, the upper speed limit is usually less than 15,000 rpm, and the lubrication cycle is short.

3 Convenience of maintenance and installation
The inner ring and rolling element assembly of the cylindrical roller bearing of the textile bearing can be quickly disassembled and assembled, which is convenient for cleaning fiber residues or replacing partially damaged parts. Ordinary bearings are mostly inseparable structures, need to be replaced as a whole during maintenance, and have a short lubrication cycle.
