FAQS on rocker bearing

Q: What is a rocker bearing and where is it commonly used?

A: A rocker bearing is a type of pivot bearing designed to accommodate rotational or oscillating movements, often used in bridges, construction equipment, and machinery requiring angular adjustment. Its curved surface allows limited tilting motion while supporting axial and radial loads.

Q: How does a rocker bearing differ from ball bearings and roller bearings?

A: Rocker bearings use a curved rocking surface for angular movement, while ball bearings utilize spherical rolling elements for low-friction rotation, and roller bearings employ cylindrical rollers for higher radial load capacity. Rocker bearings excel in applications requiring controlled pivoting rather than continuous rotation.

Q: What do the dimensions 6x16x5 mean in a 6x16x5 bearing?

A: The dimensions 6x16x5 typically represent the bearing's inner diameter (6mm), outer diameter (16mm), and width (5mm). This standardized sizing helps identify compatible replacements for applications like small motors or precision equipment requiring compact bearings.

Q: Can rocker bearings handle heavy loads like roller bearings?

A: While roller bearings specialize in high radial load capacity through line contact, rocker bearings are optimized for combined axial/radial loads with angular movement. Heavy-load applications often combine both types, using roller bearings for primary support and rocker bearings for alignment compensation.

Q: How do I maintain a rocker bearing in industrial equipment?

A: Regular lubrication with high-pressure grease and periodic inspection for surface wear or pitting are critical. For 6x16x5 sized rocker bearings, ensure proper sealing to prevent contamination and monitor clearance changes that might indicate replacement needs.
