Description:
A Bearing Trunnion, also known as a trunnion bearing, is a type of bearing used in various mechanical systems to support and allow rotational movement between two components. It consists of a stationary part, known as the trunnion, and a rotating part, which is typically a shaft or axle. The trunnion is a cylindrical projection or extension that protrudes from a stationary component, such as a housing or frame. It provides a stable mounting point for the bearing assembly and helps distribute the load or forces applied to the system. The rotating component, which is usually a shaft or axle, is supported by the trunnion bearing. The bearing itself is typically a type of rolling element bearing, such as a ball bearing or roller bearing.
Attributes:
• Designed to reduce friction and enable smooth rotation between the stationary trunnion and the rotating shaft.
• Provides a stable mounting point for the bearing assembly and helps distribute the load or forces applied to the system.
• Proper lubrication and maintenance are crucial for the smooth operation and longevity of bearing trunnions.
Applications:
A Bearing Trunnion is used in Ripper-Scarifier to allow rotational movement and is mainly used in Cat 120M, 12M, 140, 140M, 14L, 150, 160, 160M, and 16M Motor Graders.
