SPHERICAL PLAIN BEARING
Material
The selection of materials for the tension sleeve should be based on working conditions, load requirements and environmental factors. There are significant differences in the performance of different materials. Below are the mainstream materials on the market with detailed explanations, covering both conventional and special working conditions.
1.Gray Cast Iron (Most Commonly Used)
Features: High cost performance, good shock absorption, wear-resistant, stable size, and easy processing. It is the most widely used material for tension sleeves, suitable for general industrial transmission scenarios.
2.Alloy Structural Steel (40Cr/20CrMnTi)
Features: High strength, strong impact resistance, wear-resistant, and can be subjected to heat treatment to further improve hardness and torque-bearing capacity. It is suitable for heavy-duty and high-precision transmission scenarios.
3.Stainless Steel (304/316)
Features: Excellent corrosion resistance, no rust, suitable for humid, acid-alkali and other harsh environments, and meets the hygiene requirements of food, medical and other industries.
4.Aluminum Alloy
Features: Light weight, corrosion resistance, smooth appearance, small inertia, suitable for high-speed, light-load transmission scenarios, and easy to install and carry.
Widely used in fans, water pumps, air compressors, textile machinery, packaging machinery, machine tools, automated production lines, heavy industry equipment, food processing machinery, medical equipment and other fields, realizing stable power transmission and reducing maintenance costs.



FAQ:
Q: Why are ductile iron tension sleeves more durable than ordinary carbon steel ones?
A: Ductile iron features much higher toughness and tensile strength, with superior impact resistance and deformation resistance. It can withstand greater torque and is not easy to break under long-term heavy load and frequent start-stop conditions. Ordinary carbon steel is only suitable for conventional light and medium load scenarios; it is prone to deformation and wear under heavy load, resulting in a shorter service life.
