Structure and features

FYH Ball Bearing Units are manufactured to exacting standards comprising grease sealed deep groove ball bearings and housings in various forms. Self-aligning units allow for easy installation and are supplied with grease nipples in order to facilitate quick and convenient re-lubrication.

1 Supreme load capacity and accuracy

FYH Ball Bearing Units feature an internal structure identical to single row deep roove ball bearings and bear significant radial load, as well as a great deal of axial load in both directions. The hardened steel balls exhibit a high degree of “roundness” and the races are highly polished to accommodate a smoother ride at a wide range of speeds.


2 Rational self-aligning mechanism and optimal fit

FYH Ball Bearing Units have the pecial ability to selfalign inside the housing because of the spherical shape of the outer diameter of the bearing insert and the concave shape of the inner diameter of the ousing into which it fits. This design allows the bearing unit to selfadjust for shaft deviation and thereby eliminate abnormal bearing load. Therefore, the original rated life of the bearing can be guaranteed. Since the spherical outside surface of the bearing is precision ground and the spherical bore of the housing is machined by a boring machine with great accuracy, optimal fitting of the bearing and the housing can be obtained, as well as superior aligning performance. The allowable aligning angle of standard ball bearing units is 3º, while units with covers is 1º.

3 Superior sealing performance

FYH Ball Bearing Units efficiently prevent grease from leaking out of the interior of the bearing, and perform extremely well at keeping contaminates, such as dust and water, from entering. This is achieved by installing the seal to the outer ring of the bearing and installing the slinger to the inner ring of the bearing. The seal is made of synthetic rubber with supreme oil proof characteristics, and the lip of the seal contacts with the inner ring of the bearing with optimal tension. When operating in moist or dusty environments, the triple lip seal unit (suffix code : L3) or a covered unit (accessory code : C, CD, FC, FD) is recommended. The triple lip seal unit or unit with cover helps prevent ingress of water and dust from the outside, and extends the rated life of the bearing.

 

4 Simple lubrication

FYH Ball Bearing Units are tapped to accept a grease nipple which is also supplied with every mounted unit. Bearings are pre-lubricated at the factory and do not require additional grease upon installation. When operating in excessively moist, dusty, or hot environments it is recommended that grease be supplied at regular intervals. If appropriately maintained, the rated life of the
bearing can be extended. The grease nipples that are supplied with FYH mounted units include 1/4-28 for smaller units and 1/8 PT for larger units. Additional styles are available upon request.

5 Highly rigid and rugged cast iron housings

FYH Ball Bearing Units housings are designed so that they are optimized for reduction of deformation due to centralization of stress and load. Only the best material is selected to be cast by a highly advanced technique or press working technique, depending on the housing. Since any abnormal load on the bearing is eliminated by the housing, the life of the bearing can be extended. A special baked on coating helps resist corrosion and protect the surface of the housing for an extended period of time.

6 Simple installation and handling

FYH Ball Bearing Units interchange with many different models and can be bolted to machinery without any modification. The exact amount of clearance is allowed between the bore and the shaft to allow a perfect fit. Therefore, FYH Ball Bearing Units do not require any additional lubrication or seal installation. As a result, handling and downtime can be drastically reduced. Three different locking mechanisms are available :
(1) set screw
(2) eccentric locking collar
(3) tapered adapter
Mounting the bearing to the shaft can be executed easily and securely by adopting any of these methods.
