caoimhin1,
After going around the block on this one I came to the same conclusion as your suggestion!
I was uncomfortable with using a conrad with a nearly pure thrust load and have received conflicting information on adjusting load ratings in the past. However, after speaking to several...
Here is what I've discovered.
Pure ceramic angular contact bearings have much reduced load capabilities over steel, so they won't work with my load in this application.
Hybrids depend on reworking existing races, those races are not available in stainless.
Stainless angular contacts can be...
I never imagined ceramic as a viable option, considering load and durability requirements; but great suggestion, I am researching it now and will post my findings.
Thanks
I'm scratching my head over this one.
I need to support 500 lbs in a pure axial(minimal radial)load application inside a titanium housing. Sealed from the weather the housing is outdoors. (housing size up to 3" id)
I am considering a stainless steel bearing as being the only reasonable...
I have two situations, in an upcoming design, where CP2 Ti will touch Stainless 304.
1) In an outdoor (wet) environment electro-polished CP2 Ti is bolted to 304 Stainless steel plates about 2 sq. ft. surface area. Does the electro-polishing provide any corrosion protection or should I...
