Four Point Ball Contact Series designates a heavy duty four-point contact ball bearing. Each raceway is precision ground to form a gothic arch. The ball contacts each raceway at two points hence the term four-point contact. This geometry enables the bearing to support thrust, Applications moment and radial loads simultaneously.
Construction:
These bearings are produced from special alloy steel through hardened to the appropriate level for the application. The ball paths are induction hardened to 58-62 Rc. Balls are made from A.I.S.I. 52100 steel.
Advantages
The Series bearing is the most popular style of SoCare bearing. Many designs are in regular production or in stock. These bearings offer higher static capacities than the CR (cross roller) bearing.
Applications:
Ideal applications for SoCare Four Point Ball Contact Series bearings include cranes, excavators, fire apparatus, wastewater treatment equipment, forestry equipment, wind energy, capstans, welding positioners, Typical Cross Section amusement rides and military equipment.
SCB-XT bearings have rectangular cross section rings.
OD size range up : 9"-218"
Option for applications where other series do not meet the size or load capacity required
SCB-MT bearings have rectangular cross section rings.
OD size range : 4"-47"
Versatile series in ability to be modified for variety of applications, from general turntable
to precise robotic applications
SCB-KH bearings have rectangular cross section rings.
OD size range :16"-37"
Ideal for precise positioning.
SCB-HT bearings have the same configuration as the SCB-HS bearing.
Produced with a larger cross section ring and larger diameter roglling elements.
OD size range : 36"-66"
Increased capacity over the SCB-HS bearing.
SCB-HS bearings resemble the SCB-RK series in size. The SCB-HS ring
configuration is a rectangular cross section.
OD size range : 20"-47"
Provides greater stiffness and load capacity over the SCB-RK Series
SCB-RK bearings have flanged cross-section rings—either both rings or one ring.
OD size range : 20"- 47"
Best for applications requiring larger diameter bearings at a reduced weight.
