1. Contact Angle Selection: Balancing Load and SpeedThe contact angle is the defining parameter of angular contact ball bearings, directly influencing their axial and radial load distribution capabili...
A mild steel guard is a protective component commonly used in bearing assemblies and various machinery to protect components from dust, debris and other contaminants and extend bearing life.
Low carbon steel typically contains about 0.05% to 0.25% carbon, which makes it more malleable and easier to form than high carbon steel, and FTM's selection of low carbon steel materials provides a good balance of strength and price, providing basic protection in many applications.
Although mild steel has moderate wear resistance, protective coatings (such as galvanizing) may be required in humid or corrosive environments.
