Plastic Bearings - Value Analysis and Value Engineering Applications


My suggestion to industrial engineers: 
Find 5 new engineering developments every day in elements related to facilities, products and processes in your organization and assess their use.  Best Practices in #IndustrialEngineering 

Bearings for Photocopiers - Bearing applications for photocopiers 


Plastic radial ball bearing assemblies are used in photocopier machine applications. They are designed to be maintenance free and operate without lubrication allowing them to be non-contaminating to their environment. Engineered polymer race bearings improve the performance and capabilities over conventional steel bearings or plastic bushings while providing value added capability for a substantial cost savings. They are used in this application due to their ability to run without lube, low start up torque and integration ability. We have custom designed and integrated pulley and roller profiles with our polymer bearings for use as belt idlers, tensioners and roller assemblies for total performance and a substantial cost savings.

Critical Design features: Acetal POM plastic races fitted with 316 stainless balls. Features a single or double row True Race Technology™ ball groove construction for optimum load, stiffness, and moment loading capability.

Photocopier bearings- Additional reasons for use:

Value added capability: A KMS plastic bearing can be designed to include mounting features, gears, or pulleys, and can also be integrated to the application at no added cost to the bearing. This capability can reduce assembly time while improving the performance of your product.

Reduce parts count: integrating a mounting feature to the inner race and a pulley profile to the outer race for maximum reduction in parts count and reduction in assembly time.

Weight savings: A KMS plastic ball bearing is 1/5 the weight of a steel bearing thereby reducing the weight of your overall unit.

This book introduces the subject of total design, and introduces the design and selection of various common mechanical engineering components and machine elements. These provide "building blocks", with which the engineer can practice his or her art.

The approach adopted for defining design follows that developed by the SEED (Sharing Experience in Engineering Design) programme where design is viewed as "the total activity necessary to provide a product or process to meet a market need." Within this framework the book concentrates on developing detailed mechanical design skills in the areas of bearings, shafts, gears, seals, belt and chain drives, clutches and brakes, springs and fasteners. Where standard components are available from manufacturers, the steps necessary for their specification and selection are developed.

The framework used within the text has been to provide descriptive and illustrative information to introduce principles and individual components and to expose the reader to the detailed methods and calculations necessary to specify and design or select a component. To provide the reader with sufficient information to develop the necessary skills to repeat calculations and selection processes, detailed examples and worked solutions are supplied throughout the text.

This book is principally a Year/Level 1 and 2 undergraduate text. Pre-requisite skills include some year one undergraduate mathematics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer, principles of materials, statics and dynamics. However, as the subjects are introduced in a descriptive and illustrative format and as full worked solutions are provided, it is possible for readers without this formal level of education to benefit from this book. The text is specifically aimed at automotive and mechanical engineering degree programmes and would be of value for modules in design, mechanical engineering design, design and manufacture, design studies, automotive power-train and transmission and tribology, as well as modules and project work incorporating a design element requiring knowledge about any of the content described.

The aims and objectives described are achieved by a short introductory chapters on total design, mechanical engineering and machine elements followed by ten chapters on machine elements covering: bearings, shafts, gears, seals, chain and belt drives, clutches and brakes, springs, fasteners and miscellaneous mechanisms. Chapters 14 and 15 introduce casings and enclosures and sensors and actuators, key features of most forms of mechanical technology. The subject of tolerancing from a component to a process level is introduced in Chapter 16. The last chapter serves to present an integrated design using the detailed design aspects covered within the book. The design methods where appropriate are developed to national and international standards (e.g. ANSI, ASME, AGMA, BSI, DIN, ISO).

The first edition of this text introduced a variety of machine elements as building blocks with which design of mechanical devices can be undertaken. The approach adopted of introducing and explaining the aspects of technology by means of text, photographs, diagrams and step-by-step procedures has been maintained. A number of important machine elements have been included in the new edition, fasteners, springs, sensors and actuators. They are included here. Chapters on total design, the scope of mechanical engineering and machine elements have been completely revised and updated. New chapters are included on casings and enclosures and miscellaneous mechanisms and the final chapter has been rewritten to provide an integrated approach. Multiple worked examples and completed solutions are included.

Bushings or Bearings: Which are Best for 3D Printers?
The goal is smooth, jerk-free motion, long-life, durability, and low cost to improve the quality or parts made by 3D printers.
