Release bearings and ordinary bearings in a number of aspects there are significant differences, these differences are mainly reflected in the structure, load bearing, maintenance methods and application areas and so on. The following is a detailed analysis of these differences:

1. Different construction

Release bearings: are a special type of rolling bearings, containing a jacket and an inner sleeve, separated by rollers. The inner sleeve can move axially relative to the outer sleeve in order to adjust the clearance between the shaft and seat. This design makes separation bearings easier to install, dismantle and maintain.

Plain bearings: usually refers to widely used bearing types, including rolling bearings and plain bearings. Rolling bearings are composed of inner ring, outer ring, roller or ball, etc., and mainly bear radial load and axial load; while plain bearings are composed of inner ring, outer ring and sliding surface, and mainly bear radial load.

2. Bearing load different

Release bearings: Because the inner sleeve can move axially relative to the outer sleeve, this design makes Release bearings have more flexibility in bearing radial loads, and they can bear larger radial loads to a certain extent.

Plain bearings: depending on the type, their ability to withstand loads varies. Rolling bearings mainly withstand radial loads and axial loads, while plain bearings mainly withstand radial loads. However, overall, plain bearings may not be as flexible and wide-ranging as Release bearings in terms of the load they can withstand.

3. Different maintenance methods

Release bearings: Due to their special design, release bearings may be more convenient to maintain. For example, the inner sleeve and outer sleeve can be separated more easily when they need to be replaced or repaired, thus reducing the difficulty and cost of maintenance.

Plain bearings: Rolling and plain bearings, in particular, usually need to be lubricated with oil or grease before use to keep them lubricated. This means that during maintenance, the oil or grease needs to be checked and replaced regularly to ensure the normal operation of the bearings.

4. Different fields of application

Release bearings: Due to their ability to withstand large radial loads and easy maintenance, release bearings are more suitable for heavy loads and high-speed occasions. For example, in the automobile, railroad locomotive, ships and other fields, separation bearings have been widely used.

plain bearings: are more widely used in various mechanical equipment. According to the specific load bearing requirements and working environment, different types of common bearings can be selected to meet the needs. For example, deep groove ball bearings are mainly used to bear radial loads and certain axial loads, and are widely used in automobiles, tractors, machine tools and other fields; while thrust ball bearings are mainly used to bear axial loads, and are commonly used in automobile steering pins, machine tool spindles and other occasions.

To summarize, Release bearings and ordinary bearings have significant differences in construction, load bearing, maintenance and application areas. When choosing bearings, you need to choose the right type according to the specific application scenarios and needs.
