  • Hydraulic Forging Press for Stainless Steel Bearing Retainer(Cages)

    Date:2024-10-10 

    Bearing cages, also known as bearing retainers, are designed to hold and separate the rolling elements of a bearing, such as balls or rollers. Retainers keep the balls evenly spaced around the raceway to prevent ball to ball contact and allow higher speeds. Stainless Steel Bearing Retainer(Cages) can be hydroforming with our hydraulic forging press.
    Hydraulic Forging Press for Stainless Steel Bearing Retainer(Cages)
    The one-piece bearing retainer was hydroforming with hydraulic forging press, is manufactured from hardened stainless steel and has coined ball pockets, which provide a hard, smooth, low-friction contact surface to the balls. This design is very lightweight, smooth running, cost effective, and readily available. The one-piece stamped crown retainer is also used in radial bearings, but it has a slightly higher speed capability than the stamped ribbon design. For speeds exceeding the capabilities of this retainer, a machined retainer should be considered.
