Zusammenfassung: | A bearing rolling element with a lattice internal structure provides several advantages over a solid bearing. It is lighter than a solid bearing, reducing centrifugal forces. For ceramic bearings, less material is required, and sintering times are reduced because bonding material can flow easily to near the surface. Elements with an internal lattice also offer advantages over hollow rolling elements. The shell can be thinner without sacrificing load capacity. The thinner shell reduces the time required for bonding material to be removed during sintering. The blank can be formed using various additive manufacturing processes. |
