1. Rolling element type: The performance of rolling bearings is directly affected by the type of rolling elements used. Spherical rolling elements are typically used in applications where bearing requirements are less stringent, such as high speeds and light load conditions. Ball bearings have the advantages of low friction, high speed and low noise. In contrast, rolling elements such as cylindrical, conical and needle rollers are more suitable for applications that bear larger loads and require higher rigidity. Their design is more conducive to load distribution and improves the bearing's load-bearing capacity and rigidity.

2. Cage design: The role of the cage in rolling bearings is to ensure that the rolling elements are kept in place and prevent them from colliding with each other or falling off the track. Common cage designs include metal cages, plastic cages, and stamped steel tape cages. Metal cages usually have high strength and high temperature resistance and are suitable for high-speed operating conditions. The plastic cage is lightweight, reduces inertia, and is suitable for low friction and low noise requirements. Stamped steel belt cages are simple in construction and suitable for cost-sensitive applications. Cage selection affects bearing stability, friction and durability.

3. Design of inner and outer rings: The design of inner and outer rings of rolling bearings has a direct impact on its performance. The geometry and surface treatment of the inner and outer rings affect the load-carrying capacity, rigidity and durability of the bearing. Special inner and outer ring designs, such as optimization of the ballway shape, special surface treatment coatings, etc., can improve the distributed load capacity of the bearing, reduce friction, and extend service life. Some high-end bearings also use precision inner and outer ring manufacturing processes to ensure that their performance remains stable under extreme conditions.

4. Sealing and lubrication: The sealing structure and lubrication method have a significant impact on the performance of the bearing. An effective sealing system can prevent dust, moisture and impurities from entering the inside of the bearing, keeping it clean and extending its life. At the same time, proper lubrication can reduce friction, reduce wear, and improve operating efficiency. Common lubrication methods include grease lubrication and oil lubrication, and their selection depends on the use environment and working conditions of the bearing.

5. Preloading: Preloading improves the rigidity and operating accuracy of the bearing by adjusting the internal clearance of the bearing. Proper preloading can improve bearing responsiveness and vibration resistance. By applying an appropriate amount of preload, the bearing can be more stable during operation, reducing vibration and noise, and improving the operating accuracy of the bearing. This is particularly important in applications that require high-precision control and are sensitive to vibration.

6. Bearing materials: The selection of bearing materials is directly related to its wear resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. Common bearing materials include steel, ceramics and plastics. Steel is suitable for most general applications, providing good strength and durability. Ceramic bearings have excellent wear and corrosion resistance and perform well under high-speed and high-temperature conditions. Plastic bearings are lightweight, require no lubrication, and are suitable for some special environments and low-load applications.

7. Radial clearance and axial clearance: The internal clearance of the bearing refers to the gap between the inner and outer rings, including radial clearance and axial clearance. Proper clearance setting can balance the load-bearing capacity and operating accuracy of the bearing. Larger radial clearance is suitable for high speed and low friction applications, while smaller radial clearance is suitable for high precision and high rigidity applications. Adjustment of the axial clearance will also affect the positioning ability and load-bearing capacity of the bearing.

8. Matching of inner and outer rings: Matching of inner and outer rings has a direct impact on the operating accuracy and life of the bearing. Proper matching of inner and outer rings can reduce wear and improve bearing reliability. Usually, bearing manufacturers will use a series of matching processes during the design and manufacturing process to ensure that the inner and outer rings fit together. High-precision matching improves bearing operating accuracy and reduces vibration and noise levels.
