FAQ

Was ist ein Schrägkugellager?

Ein Schrägkugellager nutzt axialsymmetrische Kugelschalen. Eine Axialbelastung verläuft in einer geraden Linie durch das Lager, wohingegen eine Radialbelastung einen schräg verlaufenden Weg nimmt, der die Kugelschalen axial separieren möchte. Daher ist der Kontaktwinkel an der inneren Kugelschale identisch mit dem Kontaktwinkel an der äußeren Kugelschale. Schrägkugellager unterstützen „kombinierte Belastungen“ besser (Belastungen sowohl in der radialen als auch axialen Richtung). Der Kontaktwinkel des Lagers sollte dabei an die relativen Proportionen jeder dieser Belastungen angepasst werden. Je größer der Kontaktwinkel (normalerweise im Bereich zwischen 10 und 45 Grad), desto höher die aufnehmbare axiale Last, aber desto geringer die radiale Last. Bei Hochgeschwindigkeitsanwendungen wie Turbinen, Flugzeugtriebwerken und zahntechnischen Geräten ändern die von den Kugeln erzeugten Zentrifugalkräfte den Kontaktwinkel an der inneren und äußeren Kugelschale. Keramiken wie Siliziumnitrid werden heutzutage aufgrund ihrer geringen Dichte (40% Stahlanteil) regelmäßig für solche Anwendungen eingesetzt. Diese Materialen reduzieren die Zentrifugalkraft erheblich und funktionieren gut bei hohen Temperaturen. Sie tendieren aber auch dazu, ähnlich wie Lagerstahl zu verschleißen, anstatt wie Glas oder Porzellan zu zerbrechen oder zu zerspringen.

Bei den meisten Fahrrädern werden Schrägkugellager in den Lenkköpfen eingesetzt, da die Kräfte auf diese Lager sowohl in der radialen als auch in der axialen Richtung wirken.
