A cage, i.e., a bearing cage, likewise described as a bearing retainer, refers to a bearing part that partially covers all or components of the rolling elements and moves therewith to separate the rolling elements, as well as typically also guides the rolling components and continues to be in the bearings, such as Bearing cage LM Guide SVR [รังลูกปืน LM Guide SVR, which is the term in Thai]. The kinds of cage products are reduced carbon steel/stainless steel cage, Bakelite/plastic, or nylon brass/aluminum/bronze alloy cage, etc. Here this post will it allow you to know the bearing cage of various materials. What are the qualities?

Steel cage: cage kind: stamped and strong;

Steel cage code: ECJ

• Material: Steel forgings or steel plate;
• Benefits: This cage has high strength as well as is lightweight. Mainly utilized for deep groove ball bearings, round roller bearings, as well as many conical roller bearings are normally not influenced by the mineral oil base of the bearing or the alkali-based lubricant.
• Usage constraint: Prone to corrosion as a result of water and water vapor;
• Working temperature: The operating temperature of the cage can get to 300° C;
  Brass cage: Cage type: Stamped as well as solid, marking is only suitable for small and average sizes.

Brass cage code: ECM

• Material: Brass plate, brass spreading, or brass building. Brass has high tensile strength, mechanical strength is comparable to steel stamping cage; however, the density is reasonably little, and the limit speed is high;
• Benefits: Not affected by lubricants, consisting of artificial oils, as well as greases;
• Usage constraint: Brass cages cannot be utilized over 300° C, except ammonia, e.g., air conditioning, as ammonia can create seasonal damage to brass;
• Working temperature: The working temperature level is less than 300° C.
• Polyamide (nylon 66) cage: cage kind: Solid cage, or shot molding;

Nylon cage code: ECP.

• Material: Polyamide, or nylon 66;
• Benefits: Polyamide nylon product has the benefits of high elasticity as well as being lightweight. This cage has great sliding and self-lubricating buildings. It is specifically appropriate for resonance shock anxiety or high acceleration and deceleration or when the inner, as well as outer rings of the bearing, are inclined to each other;
