What are the uses of large ball bearings?
Large ball bearings are mainly used in mechanical equipment that requires heavy loads and continuous operation. For example, large ball bearings play an important role in
fields such as construction machinery, mining equipment, cement industry, agricultural machinery, steel production, wind turbines, and railway transportation12.
In construction machinery, large ball bearings are used in equipment such as cranes, forklifts, bulldozers, etc., which need to withstand huge loads and frequent movements.
In the mining and timber industries, equipment such as excavators, cranes, and drilling rigs also rely on large ball bearings to ensure continuous operation. Mixers, pavers,
and transportation equipment in the cement industry also require high-performance ball bearings. Agricultural machinery such as tractors and their ancillary equipment
also widely use large ball bearings. In the process of steel production, from raw material extraction to finished product production, various equipment cannot do without
ball bearings. The enormous weight and continuous operation requirements of wind turbines make them an important application area for large ball bearings. Finally,
railway locomotives have extremely high requirements for the continuous operation of bearings and their ability to withstand heavy loads.
The reason why large ball bearings are widely used in these fields is because they have high load-bearing capacity, high speed, long life, and good impact resistance. In
addition, many large ball bearings are made of ceramic balls and other special materials to improve their high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and low
friction characteristics, ensuring stable operation even in harsh environments.
