Company Profile

NBC Bearings is the product of National Engineering Industries Limited

(NEI), a part of the CK Birla Group, which manufactures a wide range of
bearings for the automotive, industrial and railways

NEI manufactures bearings in about 1000 different sizes

It has the capacity to develop bearings from 10 mm bore to 2000 mm

outer diameter.

NBCs current capacity is to make 100 million bearings annually across

its three plants (Jaipur, Newai, Manesar). NEI aims to double the
production capacity in next seven years

Introduction to Bearings

The term "bearing" is derived from the verb "to bear"; a bearing
being a machine element that allows one part to bear (i.e., to
support) another

A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to

only the desired motion, and reduces friction between moving parts

Objective of bearing is to provide relative positioning and rotational

freedom while transmitting a load between two parts.

It needs a good support to ensure stability and frictionless rotation.

Types of Bearing

Ball Bearing

Cylindrical Roller Bearing

Tapered Roller Bearing

Spherical Rolling Bearing

Ball Bearing

A ball bearing is a most common type of rolling-element bearing that

uses balls to maintain the separation between the bearing races

Precision Ball Bearings from 6 mm bore to 75 mm bore diameter are

manufactured in NBC

This Division is spread over a covered area of 14,694 Sq. Meters

Tapered Roller Bearing

Can take large axial forces as well as being able to sustain large
radial forces.

Based on the observation that cones that meet at a point can roll
over each other without slipping.

Generally separable, which means the cone assembly, consisting

of the inner ring with roller and cage

Precision Ball Bearings from 17 mm bore to 100 mm bore

diameter are manufactured in NBC

Tapered Roller Bearing Cont.

Cylindrical Roller Bearing

Have a high radial load capacity and are suitable for high speeds

Precision Ball Bearings from 20 mm bore to 75 mm bore diameter

are manufactured in NBC

Cylindrical bearings provide the highest possible radial load

capacity compared to other roller bearing types

Spherical Roller Bearing

Spherical roller bearings are self-aligning bearings designed for

heavy radial loading.

Precision Ball Bearings from 50 mm bore to 200 mm bore

diameter are manufactured in NBC

A spherical roller bearing is a rolling-element bearing that permits

rotation with low friction, and permits angular misalignment

Manufacturing Process Cont.

CARBURIZATION

Carburizing is a is a heat treatment process in which iron or steel

absorbs carbon liberated when the metal is heated in the presence
of a carbon bearing material, such as charcoal or carbon monoxide,
with the intent of making the metal harder.

The carburizing is performed 940 to 980c in rotary hearth furnace

with time of 10hrs. But carburizing is done for only cup and cone
with Air: LPG =10:1 (Endo Gas).

Manufacturing Process Cont.

QUENCHING

Quenching is a process of cooling a metal at a rapid rate. This is

most often done to produce a marterialistic transformation. In
ferrous alloys, this will often produce a harder metal, while nonferrous alloys will usually become softer than normal.

In NBC Oil is used in the quenching process and the oil is kept at a
temperature of 250C. Agitator is used to stir the oil in the oil
quenching tank.

Interesting Facts

If you were to file down onto a ball bearing, you would wear out the file
before you would wear out the bearing!

If you were to expand a 1-inch ball to equal the size of planet Earth, the
ball would be rounder than the actual Earth

The Hubble telescope, weather satellites and even the Mars Space
Rover all use bearings.

When using outer race rotation, you are reducing your bearing lifespan
by 20%

70% of bearing failures are from improper lubrication

17

Features of Ball Bearing

Can be used under wide range of temperature

Internationally available and available.

Maintenance, replacement, inspection are easy

Cheap

Have great rigidity and are robust

18

Applications of Ball Bearing

In horology, the company Jean Lassale designed a watch movement that

used ball bearings to reduce the thickness of the movement

Aerospace bearings are used in many applications on commercial,

private and military aircraft including pulleys, gearboxes and jet engine
shafts

Skateboard wheels each contain two bearings, which are subject to both
axial and radial time-varying loads

19

Types of Bearing Load

Bearings typically have to deal with two types of load:

Radial Load

Axial Load (Thrust)

RADIAL LOAD act at right angles to the shaft (bearing's axis of

rotation)

AXIAL LOAD (Thrust) acts parallel to the axis of rotation.

Types Of Bearing Load Cont.

The bearings in theelectric

motor
and
thepulleypictured above
face only a radial load. In
this case, most of the load
comes from the tension in
the belt connecting the two
pulleys.

The bearing above is like

the one in a barstool. It is
loaded purely in thrust, and
the entire load comes from
the weight of the person
sitting on the stool.

21

The bearing above is like

the one in the hub of your
car wheel. This bearing has
to support both a radial
load and a thrust load. The
radial load comes from the
weight of the car, the
thrust load comes from the

Load Equations

22

Relative axial load = (Fa/ZDw )

Fa = Axial Force

Z = Number of balls

Dw = Ball Diameter

Relative radial load = (MF/R)

M = Torque

R = Radius

F = Load Connection Factor

F = Load Connection Factor
