Deep groove ball bearings can be used in turbines, but they are usually not directly used in the high-temperature, high-speed, and high load rotor parts of the turbine core. Instead, they are used in auxiliary or specific parts that require accuracy and speed but have relatively low loads and temperatures.
Deep groove ball bearings have a low friction coefficient, high ultimate speed, simple structure, and are easy to use. They can be used on components that can withstand radial loads or combined loads of radial and axial forces, as well as on components that can withstand axial loads. These characteristics make them applicable under certain specific working conditions.
Turbines need to operate smoothly at extremely high speeds, and bearings must be able to withstand high temperatures and loads. Cylindrical roller bearings are commonly used in such applications due to their high load-bearing capacity and durability; The spindle of high-speed machine tools bears large radial and axial composite loads, and angular contact ball bearings are usually used for precision machining of spindle parts due to their high precision and high-speed performance. However, in some turbine auxiliary or specific parts that require precision and speed but have relatively low loads and temperatures, deep groove ball bearings can play a role based on their own advantages. For example, deep groove ball bearings can meet the operational needs of auxiliary transmission systems and small transmission components in control systems of certain turbines.
