SGO appeared on TV!

On September 30th, SGO was featured in a documentary called "Docu ON" with the episode title of <The Future of the Root Industry: Finding the Ace of Our Factory>, which aired on KBS1, a public broadcaster in Korea. In Korea, young people are increasingly reluctant to work in manufacturing companies. Nonetheless, young people work for a foundry with tough working conditions at SGO, and you see what good benefits the root industry companies including SGO try to provide to attract young people and how they are reborn as smart companies with advanced technological development and competitiveness.

Rolling Bearing and Oilless Bearing

What is the difference between oilless bearings and rolling bearings?

This question is one of the most frequently asked questions by customers, and here is the table below showing the advantages and disadvantages of each bearing.

※ A – Excellent B-Average C-Below Average

1. Rolling Bearings

① Advantages

- Standardized goods, high compatibility, and cost-effective except for special products

- No performance degradation until around 100℃

- Good accommodate to thrust and radial loads

- Very low frictional resistance when starting

② Disadvantages

- Large Inside and Outside diameter for narrow width

- Requires handle with care when fitting the inner and outer rings

- Weak to impact and noise occurrence depending on the precision

- Repeated stress on the raceway, and generally not allowed axial change

2. Oilless Bearings

① Advantages

- Easy to make to order as per requirement

- No need for a separate lubricant by using solid lubricants such as graphite and plastic

- Good performance in boundary friction, high load, low-speed motion, reciprocating motion, impact load, etc.

- Various options for materials and dimensions in consideration of working conditions

② Disadvantages

- Unable to use at high speed without lubrication

- High friction coefficient compared to regular lubricated sliding bearings, which can cause seizures or shorten the lifespan

As you see above, rolling bearings and oilless bearings have different characteristics, it is essential to select a bearing that meets the required service life or design specifications (working conditions). If you would like to use oilless bearings for new machines or special conditions, please contact SGO.
