INGCO S-ID-BSL-ID211002 Bearing Sleeve

The INGCO S-ID-BSL-ID211002 Bearing Sleeve also sometimes called a plain bearing or bush bearing, is a simple yet crucial component used in impact drill machine, including:

Description:

• It’s a cylindrical or flanged sleeve-shaped component, typically made of a low-friction material -steel.

Components:

• The primary component is the sleeve body itself. It has:
  • An inner surface designed to house a rotating shaft or axle with minimal clearance.
  • Opening  hole to allow for lubricant application.

How it Works:

1. The bearing sleeve is fitted around a rotating shaft or axle, providing a low-friction surface for the shaft to rotate within.
2. The material of the sleeve is chosen to be wear-resistant and offer some lubrication properties.
3. The sleeve  has designated lubrication points or grooves to allow for oil or grease to be applied, reducing friction and wear between the shaft and the sleeve.
4. The bearing sleeve helps support the shaft and keep it centered while allowing for smooth rotation.

Importance:

• Bearing sleeves offer several advantages:
  • Simplicity: They are relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • Low friction: The material properties minimize friction between the shaft and the sleeve.
  • Self-lubricating (in some materials): Some bearing sleeve materials have inherent lubricating properties, reducing the need for external lubrication.
  • Sacrificial wear: The sleeve material can wear out over time, protecting the more expensive shaft from wear and tear.

Limitations:

• Bearing sleeves typically have limitations compared to rolling element bearings (ball bearings, roller bearings):
  • Load capacity: They may not be suitable for applications with very high loads.
  • Speed limitations: They might not be ideal for very high rotational speeds due to increased friction at higher speeds.
  • Maintenance: While some are self-lubricating, some designs require periodic lubrication for optimal performance.
