Bearing 16x50x12 mm (print in place)
There is a print in place bearing. Inner diameter is 16 mm, outer diameter is 50 mm, width is 12 mm.
Consist of outer ring, inner ring, a cage and eight W-profiled rolls.
Unlike most print-in-place bearings on the Internet, it has low radial and axial backlash.
There are two modifications. One has a 0.1 mm tolerance between rolls and rings, second has a 0.2 mm tolerance.
Very important! Your printer should a good calibration. You can print a tolerance test (e. g. in Orca) first in your slicer.
After printing you should make next steps:
- Squeeze strong a bearing for several times (see photo).
- Take the bearing in your hand, and press strong every rolls with a metal stick from front and rear side of bearing (see photo).
- Try to turn the bearing. It will be difficult to do this at first time, but then it will become easier with each next turn. If a bearing isn't turn, follow steps 1 and 2.
- Make sure that all eight rollers are rotating when the bearing is turning. If this is not the case, follow steps 1 and 2.
