1. What is a cross bearing?
A cross bearing, also known as a cross bearing or cross shaft coupling (English: cross bearing), is a type of bearing specially designed to withstand forces acting from many different directions. The highlight of this bearing is its plus or cross-shaped structure, which enhances load-bearing capacity and ensures stability during operation.

Thanks to its smart design, cross bearings can withstand large loads in applications that require high precision and flexibility in transmitting force. This type of bearing is often used in industries that require high durability and stable performance, especially in harsh working environments or heavy loads.

3. Outstanding features of Wichmann cross bearings:
Wichmann cross bearings stand out with their ability to rotate evenly around a rigid shaft, allowing continuous movement in a 360-degree direction, similar to a steering wheel. Thanks to this mechanism, cross bearings have the ability to adjust the direction of movement of components such as gearboxes, rotational speed and machine control systems, helping to optimize the operation of industrial equipment.

The structure of Wichmann cross bearings consists of two main parts: a cross-shaped body and four connectors mounted horizontally with four bearing shafts. Inside the cross body are structures including stop bars and cross bars, designed to allow the balls to move easily, minimize friction and increase efficiency during operation.

The life of the bearing depends on many factors such as the number of revolutions, load, temperature and working environment. The durability and efficiency of Wichmann crosshead bearings make them the optimal choice for industries requiring high precision and high load carrying capacity.
