Sheedy Bearings - The Origin Of The Sheedy Bearing

The Sheedy Secret
The Sheedy secret is three-fold, it is our QCP Programme; Quality, Care and Progress. Quality in materials, design, development, support and performance. Care for our clients, product, staff and service. Progress in Australian development, industry and materials development.

Bearing Selection
Sheedy Bearings differ completely from rolling element bearings and require specific selection procedures which are unique. The selection procedure varies for the different bearing types.

1. The Sheedy Bearing is a unique and patented combination of engineering plastics, advanced materials and surface finishes. It is not a rolling element bearing and cannot be treated as one.

2. The unique corrosion resistance of the bearing and the availability of plastics suitable for a wide range of ambient temperatures, suit it to applications where the "conventional" ball or roller bearing cannot survive.

To repeat a point, THIS BEARING IS DIFFERENT, it is not a rolling element bearing. THE SELECTION PROCEDURE IS DIFFERENT AND MUST BE FOLLOWED, rolling element bearing approaches are not applicable.

Successful bearing selection depends upon the proper identification of the required Static and Dynamic loads which the bearing is to carry.
These loadings must be assessed in both the Radial and Axial directions. In this sense:

Static Load -	means the maximum load which will be applied to the bearing with both the bearing and shaft stationary.
Dynamic Load -	means the maximum load which will be applied to the bearing with the bearing and/or the shaft in motion.
Radial Load -	means the load on the bearing perpendicular (that is - at right angles) to the line of the shaft.
Axial Load -	means the load on the bearing along the line of the shaft. This may also be termed the Thrust load.
