What You Need to Know About Wheel Bearings

A wheel bearing failure at riding speed can lead to a serious crash, or if you get lucky, may just ruin some expensive parts, including wheel hubs, axles, etc. So don't neglect them, because they’re important and easy to forget about. The owner's manual or shop manual are good places to start for determining wheel bearing inspection intervals and service procedures. Most modern bikes have ball-type wheel bearings that are designed with seals that keep you from being able to add grease.

These sealed wheel bearings can last as long as you own the bike, if you treat them right. However, overloading the motorcycle, riding in deep water that goes over the hubs, directing a pressure washer or hose on the center hub areas, doing wheelies, jumps or riding hard on rugged terrain will reduce their service life, as will neglecting to lubricate bearings that can be greased. Observe the manufacturer's guidelines for inspecting and replacing wheel bearings, and change them whenever you notice excessive wear or looseness. So, how can you tell if they need replaced? It all starts with a visual inspection.

During tire changes is a great opportunity to check and maintain your wheel bearings. With the bike safely supported on a motorcycle jack or center stand, turn the tire and wheel assembly by hand and attempt to get the wheel to move side to side, to feel for any slack or play in the bearings. If you can feel looseness, the wheel bearings need further inspection.

When the wheel is off, push a finger in the hole where the axle goes and try to turn the bearing. If the bearing sticks as you turn it, or feels rough, it's faulty. Also look for any metal dust or rust around the bearings. If any of these problems are found, replace the bearings as a set. With the wheel off, stick a finger into the center hole of the bearing and feel how it turns by hand. It should be smooth and not feel loose or stick anywhere.

Types and uses of Bearings:Mbp Bearings.com

A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion, and reduces friction between moving parts. The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts. Most bearings facilitate the desired motion by minimizing friction. Bearings are classified broadly according to the type of operation, the motions allowed, or to the directions of the loads (forces) applied to the parts.The simplest form of bearing, the plain bearing, consists of a shaft rotating in a hole. Lubrication is often used to reduce friction. In the ball bearing and roller bearing, to prevent sliding friction, rolling elements such as rollers or balls with a circular cross-section are located between the races or journals of the bearing assembly. A wide variety of bearing designs exists to allow the demands of the application to be correctly met for maximum efficiency, reliability, durability and performance.The term "bearing" is derived from the verb "to bear" a bearing being a machine element that allows one part to bear another.The most sophisticated bearings for the most demanding applications are very precise devices; their manufacture requires some of the highest standards of current technology.

There are Some common types of bearing, each of which operates on different principles:- 

• Plain bearing: Consisting of a shaft rotating in a hole. 
• Ball bearing: In which the rolling elements are spherical balls.
• Roller bearing: In which the rolling elements are cylindrical rollers.
• Magnetic bearing: In which the load is supported by a magnetic field.

Plain bearing:

A plain bearing is the simplest type of bearing, comprising just a bearing surface and no rolling elements. Therefore, the journal slides over the bearing surface. The simplest example of a plain bearing is a shaft rotating in a hole.Plain bearings, in general, are the least expensive type of bearing. They are also compact and lightweight, and they have a high load-carrying capacity.


Ball bearing:

A ball bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing that uses balls to maintain the separation between the bearing races.The purpose of a ball bearing is to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. It achieves this by using at least two races to contain the balls and transmit the loads through the balls.Ball bearings tend to have lower load capacity for their size than other kinds of rolling-element bearings due to the smaller contact area between the balls and races. However, they can tolerate some misalignment of the inner and outer races.


Roller bearing:

A rolling-element bearing, also known as a rolling bearing,is a bearing which carries a load by placing rolling elements between two bearing rings called races. The relative motion of the races causes the rolling elements to roll with very little rolling resistance and with little sliding.
A rolling element rotary bearing uses a shaft in a much larger hole, and cylinders called "rollers" tightly fill the space between the shaft and hole.Rolling-element bearings have the advantage of a good tradeoff between cost, size, weight, carrying capacity, durability, accuracy, friction, and so on.


Magnetic bearing:

A magnetic bearing is a bearing that supports a load using magnetic levitation. Magnetic bearings support moving parts without physical contact. For instance, they are able to levitate a rotating shaft and permit relative motion with very low friction and no mechanical wear. Magnetic bearings support the highest speeds of all kinds of bearing and have no maximum relative speed.Magnetic bearings are used in several industrial applications such as electrical power generation, petroleum refinement, machine tool operation and natural gas handling.

Maintenance and lubrication


Many bearings require periodic maintenance to prevent premature failure, but many others require little maintenance. Nonsealed bearings often have a grease fitting, for periodic lubrication with a grease gun, or an oil cup for periodic filling with oil.Many bearings in high-cycle industrial operations need periodic lubrication and cleaning, and many require occasional adjustment, such as pre-load adjustment, to minimise the effects of wear.Bearing life is often much better when the bearing is kept clean and well lubricated. a good maintenance program might lubricate the bearings frequently but not include any disassembly for cleaning.

What Are Ball Bearings Used For?

Ball bearings reduce friction between rotating shafts and the housings that hold them. They are called "rolling-element bearings" and their applications range from medical equipment to motors to turbines. The basic design has an inner race to carry the shaft, a ring of balls held in place by a cage to keep them correctly spaced, and an outer race that mounts to the housing or whatever fixture attaches the shaft to the rest of the mechanism. Roller bearings apply the same principle,, but instead of balls, they use cylinders to carry greater loads, sometimes in races angled to carry an axial thrust load on the shaft.

Low Speed Applications

Bicycles provide a good example of a ball bearing application where neither speeds nor loads are high. They carry wheels on the axle spindles, the crank in the frame, and the pedals on the crank. Older versions don't have a cage to position the balls; they ride in a cup, held in place by a cone. The space between the balls is packed with bearing grease, and the clearance between cup and cone is adjustable so the bearing is not loose enough to allow play nor tight enough to bind the bearing. Newer versions are made as sealed cartridges.

High Speed Applications

High speeds put stress on bearings in several ways, including heat from friction, lubricant shear and centrifugal force. Rotational speed is not the only factor to consider; bearing designs also consider the diameter of the bore. Bearing speed is defined as a value of dN where (d) is bore diameter in millimeters multiplied by (N) which represents the rotational speed. Applications include turbochargers in automotive and aerospace designs, medical and dental equipment and high-speed machine tooling equipment. "Hybrid" designs use ceramic balls instead of steel for the advantages of reduced weight, greater smoothness and longer bearing life.

Axial and Moment Load Applications

Axial or thrust loads push and pull on the rotating shaft. Moment loads attempt to twist the bearing. Consider a swivel caster, with a wheel bearing and a swivel bearing. The wheel bearing supports weight as a radial load, on the axis of the bearing, and the swivel bearing supports the weight as a thrust load, perpendicular to the bearing. Because the wheel bearing is offset from the axis of the swivel bearing, a moment of torque applies to the swivel bearing. Vehicle wheels provide another example of axial loads from cornering forces.

Non-Radial Applications

Linear roller bearings work like ball or roller bearings, except they're arrayed to carry loads in a straight line. Applications include guidance systems for moving industrial equipment and monorail trains. "Transfer tables" are studded with ball or roller bearings so objects can roll over and/or across them. Those bearings turn on ball or roller bearings of their own. They are used in assembly lines and package or baggage handling, along with some grocery checkouts.
