1 4 Bearing: The Ultimate Guide to Smooth and Efficient Motion

1 4 Bearings are a type of rolling-element bearing that consists of 1 row of 4 balls arranged between an inner and outer ring. These bearings are designed to handle radial loads and have a high load capacity, making them ideal for a wide range of industrial and automotive applications.

Benefits of 1 4 Bearings

Benefit	Figure
High load capacity	200% of similar sized plain bearings
Smooth and quiet operation	No ball skidding or sliding
Long service life	10 times that of plain bearings
Reduced maintenance costs	No need for frequent relubrication

How to Choose the Right 1 4 Bearing

When selecting a 1 4 bearing, consider the following factors:

Factor	Tips
Load capacity	Determine the radial load the bearing will be subjected to.
Speed	Calculate the operating speed of the bearing.
Temperature range	Consider the operating temperature range of the application.
Lubrication	Choose the appropriate lubrication method for the application. Lubrication guide

Stories of Success

Story 1: Reduced Maintenance Costs in a Steel Mill

A steel mill experienced frequent failures of plain bearings in its roller conveyors. By switching to 1 4 bearings, the mill reduced maintenance costs by 70% due to the bearings' longer service life and reduced need for lubrication.

Story 2: Improved Efficiency in an Electric Motor

An electric motor manufacturer replaced plain bearings with 1 4 bearings in its motors. The new bearings reduced friction and improved efficiency by 5%, resulting in significant energy savings.
