Adaptive clearance bearings

Adaptive clearance bearing represents a modern bearing technology that allows for automatic adjustment of clearances between the moving parts of the bearing. This capability is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and extending the bearing's lifespan by minimizing wear caused by excessive friction or improper alignment.

The principle of adaptive clearance bearing lies in the bearing's ability to detect loads, temperature, and other operating conditions, based on which it automatically adjusts its clearance, i.e., the distance between the inner and outer rings of the bearing. This intelligent adaptation ensures that the bearing maintains optimal clearance even in variable and demanding operating conditions, thereby reducing the risk of damage and increasing the efficiency of machinery.

Adaptive clearance bearings find applications in various industrial sectors, from the automotive industry to the aerospace industry, to the manufacturing of energy equipment. Thanks to their ability for automatic adjustment and self-regulation, these bearings bring significant benefits in terms of maintenance reduction, extension of equipment lifespan, and overall improvement in operational efficiency and reliability.
