Caged Ball Bearing

<p>Disclaimer:</p> <p>Due to the recent incidents (things appearing on ebay) I just want to make something very clear:</p> <p>I do not allow any commercial use of my STL-files, my designs and my photos!</p> <p>Description:</p> <p>A real ball bearing needs a cage to separate the balls. So I changed my first ball bearing ( <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:56298">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:56298</a> ) to 8 balls and added a cage.</p> <p>I was a little suprised that the cage really improves the function of the bearing.</p> <p>You can see the difference in this video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCsoIQ4pXQ4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCsoIQ4pXQ4</a></p> <p>If you want to print this bearing you will need a well calibrated printer. Use a layer hight of 0.1mm. After printing all parts (and the cage in particular) must be deburred perfectly.</p> <h3>Instructions</h3> <ul> <li>Print the parts (flip inner_c_2.stl and cage.stl)</li> <li>deburr them (!)</li> <li>load the balls</li> <li>insert the cage</li> <li>snap-on the inner part</li> <li>let it roll</li> </ul> Category: Other
