Product Selection Support
I'm not sure which bearing is right for my equipment. Can you help?
Of course. This is one of the core functions of our technical team. We have extensive experience serving various industries, including rail, medical, and robotics, and can provide professional selection advice.
What operating conditions do I need to provide when asking for selection advice?
To give you the most accurate recommendation, please provide as much of the following information as possible: equipment application, load size and direction (radial/axial), rotational speed (RPM), operating temperature, space constraints, and any special environmental factors (e.g., humidity, dust, insulation needs).
Besides a personal consultation, are there any online tools to help me with selection?
You can visit the Product Center on our website, which has detailed product categories and a specification filter. Additionally, the technical articles in our Resource Center contain a wealth of knowledge on bearing selection and applications, which you can use as a reference.
Can we collaborate with your engineering team for joint R&D?
You are very welcome. We are happy to engage in deep technical cooperation with our customers to jointly develop innovative bearing solutions that meet specific application needs. Our engineering team can work closely with your team, participating in the entire process from concept design and material selection to sample testing.
Technical Documentation
Where can I find detailed technical specification sheets for your products?
Each product's detail page contains basic performance parameters and dimensional information. If you need a more detailed Datasheet, you can request it directly from our sales or technical support team.
Do you provide 2D or 3D CAD drawings of your products?
Yes. To facilitate your engineering design, each product detail page includes basic 2D model files (DWG and PDF formats) for download. If you require a different format, we can provide model files in mainstream 2D (e.g., DXF) and 3D (e.g., STEP) formats upon request. Please contact us and specify the product model for which you require a drawing.
Can you provide calculation data for bearing fatigue life or performance curves?
Yes. Based on the specific operating parameters you provide, our engineers can perform professional life calculations and performance analysis for you, helping you to have a full estimation of product reliability during the design phase.
Cross-Reference Information
I am currently using bearings from brands like SKF, FAG, and NSK. Do you have directly interchangeable TFL models?
Yes, accessing our online cross-reference database allows you to quickly find TFL replacement models that are equivalent in performance and fully interchangeable in size with leading brands. This is a cost-effective way to help you optimize costs.
How do I look up a replacement model?
A: You can directly tell our sales or technical team the brand and complete model number you are using. They will cross-reference and provide the corresponding TFL product model and technical information. Alternatively, you can check our existing inter-brand model interchangeability chart.
Are TFL's replacement models 100% identical to the original brand models?
Our replacement models are consistent with the original models in core parameters like key dimensions, tolerances, and load capacity, ensuring direct installation and interchangeability. We also recommend that you check our technical specification sheet to confirm that all performance parameters meet your application requirements.
Installation & Maintenance
Do you have any recommendations for bearing installation?
Correct installation is crucial. We recommend: 1) Keeping the installation environment and tools clean; 2) Using professional installation tools (e.g., heaters or presses), and avoiding direct hammering; 3) Ensuring that the dimensional tolerances of the shaft and housing meet the requirements.
How should I lubricate the bearings?
Lubrication is key to ensuring a bearing's smooth operation and long life. You need to select the appropriate grease or oil based on the bearing's speed, temperature, and load. Our technical team can recommend a suitable lubrication plan for your application.
What are some common bearing maintenance considerations?
Regularly check the bearing's operating status for abnormal noise, vibration, or temperature rise. Keep the bearing and its surroundings clean to prevent contamination. Timely replenish or replace lubricants according to the recommended schedule.
