Long Life Bearings For Engine Accessories

Product catalog summary
Introduction
NSK Ltd. has developed next-generation long-life bearings for engine accessories, designed to address premature white structure flaking. These bearings are made with high chrome steel and HAB grease, enhancing their reliability and durability under harsh conditions.

Specifications and Materials
The bearings utilize high chrome steel, which is significantly more durable than conventional materials like SUJ2. SHJ5 steel offers four times the durability, while ES1 steel provides ten times the durability. The bearings are packed with HAB grease, which is more than twice as durable as conventional grease.

Causes and Solutions for White Structure Flaking
White structure flaking is caused by hydrogen intrusion into the bearing steel. NSK has developed preventive measures using HAB grease and high chrome steel to inhibit hydrogen intrusion and diffusion, preventing white etching constituents.

Performance Characteristics
HAB grease, with nanoscale carbon particles, provides electric conductivity and enhances resistance to white structure flaking. It is suitable for environments up to 180°C and contains no harmful substances. High chrome steel ensures excellent dimensional stability and can withstand high temperatures.

Product Variants
NSK offers four types of bearings:
  • Standard specification: SUJ2 with HAB grease for conventional uses.
  • High-temperature specification: SHJ3 with HAB grease for up to 180°C.
  • Long-life specification: SHJ5 with HAB grease for extended life.
  • Ultra long-life specification: ES1 for maximum durability.


Testing and Results
Durability tests show that HAB grease significantly reduces the risk of white structure flaking and seizure. The grease's electric conductivity prevents static electricity buildup, reducing grease decomposition and hydrogen generation.

Conclusion
NSK's long-life bearings offer enhanced durability and reliability, addressing white structure flaking challenges through advanced materials and innovative grease technology.

Material Specifications
High chrome steel improves wear resistance, reduces tribo-chemical reactions, inhibits hydrogen intrusion/diffusion, and stabilizes carbides and base structures.

Test Results
  • Durability Tests: SHJ5 and ES1 materials show longer life and higher durability against seizure compared to SUJ2.
  • White Structure Flaking Durability: SHJ5 and ES1 materials exhibit longer operational lives due to abrasion resistance and stabilized structures.
  • Hydrogen Diffusion: High chrome steel demonstrates strong hydrogen trapping, resulting in slower diffusion and reduced accumulation in stress areas.
  • Seizure Durability: HAB grease with high chrome steel shows improved resistance to seizure.


Key Findings
  • High chrome steel significantly improves wear resistance and durability for engine accessory bearings.
  • The material's ability to inhibit hydrogen diffusion and stabilize carbides enhances performance.
  • SHJ5 and ES1 materials outperform SUJ2 in various tests, indicating their suitability for long-life applications.


Conclusion
High chrome steel in bearings for engine accessories offers improved durability and resistance to issues like white structure flaking and seizure, making it a superior choice for long-life applications.
