Coefficient of Friction
More Details on rolling bearing friction are available on the links below
Rolling bearings are called anti-friction bearing. They have high loading capacity and exhibit very low rolling friction torques. The friction torques are
similar or lower than ideally designed plain bearing operating under conditions of thick film lubrication.Rolling bearing have low starting torques
The coefficient of friction in rolling bearings relates to the type of bearing, the speed of rotation, the load, the amount and viscosity of the lubrication, the
friction of the seals, etc etc.
alternatively ..
These values relate to running bearings without seals and with optimimum lubrication..
The start-up friction values will be higher -up to twice the values quoted below..
The seal friction should also be included if seals are fitted. A reasonable average value for a first estimate would be 0.001.
More accurate values for bearing rolling friction are found in the suppliers technical literature..(see links below)
