Textile Machine Bearings

As the leading manufacturer of linear guide system bearings, WIB works collaboratively with customers on the development of common and tailor designs, supplying the best-in-class technical and commercial solution for each unique application. Each parameter, including environmental factors, precision requirements, speed, temperature, load, boundary dimensions are thoroughly evaluated during the design and development phase.

The manufacturing precision of the roller has a major influence on the quality of the final product (wires) as well as on the service life of the rollers. It is therefore essential that the ground “V” groove on the outer ring is machined and positioned precisely relative to the internal geometry. WIB only produces straightener roller bearings produced in this fashion, while many other producers machine the outer wire guide groove after assembly

Packaging is a very important parameter for the retention of the bearing quality during transport and storage. It is designed to protect the bearings against corrosion, dust, and other pollutants. Apart from that, each unit is labeled and carries all the relevant information concerning the technical and quality features of the bearing. The production batch number is printed on the label and guarantees the traceability of the product, as well as the identification of the manufacturing date. Therefore, it is advisable to unpack the ball bearing only prior to use or assembly.

The noise level is an important quality criteria of a ball bearing. It mainly depends on the following factors: precision of the geometric forms surface finish of the raceway and the balls cleanliness of the bearing type of lubricant type of cage rotational speed
