latticebearings

Lattice bearings, also known as cage bearings, are a type of rolling-element bearing that uses a lattice or cage to separate and guide the rolling elements. This design helps to maintain the proper spacing between the balls or rollers, reducing friction and improving load distribution. Lattice bearings are commonly used in applications where high speeds, heavy loads, or both are required, such as in automotive engines, industrial machinery, and aerospace components. They are available in various configurations, including deep groove, angular contact, and thrust types, each suited to different operating conditions. The lattice or cage in these bearings is typically made from materials like brass, bronze, or stainless steel, chosen for their strength, durability, and resistance to wear and corrosion. The design of lattice bearings allows for efficient heat dissipation, which is crucial in high-speed applications. They are known for their reliability, low noise operation, and long service life, making them a popular choice in many industrial and automotive applications.
