Effective Strategies for Choosing Trunnion Bearings

Determine Load Capacity: Calculate the maximum load the bearing will be subjected to.

Consider Misalignment: Determine the degree of misalignment the bearing must accommodate.

Select Bearing Material: Choose a material that provides the desired durability, corrosion resistance, and impact resistance.

Lubricate Properly: Follow lubrication recommendations to optimize performance and lifespan.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Undersizing the Bearing: Choosing a bearing with insufficient load capacity can lead to premature failure.

Overloading the Bearing: Exceeding the bearing's load capacity can damage the bearing and shorten its lifespan.

Neglecting Lubrication: Inadequate lubrication can increase friction and wear, leading to bearing failure.
