Why Choose TFL?

Supplying technically challenging inner-ring insulated bearings with a 140mm bore (controlling bore-coating adhesion and tolerances is far more complex than on the outer ring) is a test of premium supply chains and quality management. Relying on a robust high-end power transmission network and an ISO 9001 certified quality control system, TFL seamlessly integrates imported temperature-controlled plasma spraying processes with precision large-bearing standards. We provide high-reliability products that rival top global brands, backed by a professional engineering team for technical diagnostic support. With rapid-response stock availability and No MOQ, TFL is dedicated to helping global clients eliminate lead-time risks on large specialized parts, achieving significant cost optimization.

Features of 6228/C3VL2071

Common Applications of Electrically Insulated Bearings

TFL 6228/C3VL2071 inner-ring insulated bearings are developed for VFD equipment where “the outer ring is strictly prohibited from being insulated,” while facing significant temperature rises and VFD leakage currents. Typical applications encompass rail transit and large AC traction motors requiring absolute stator grounding, metallurgical exhaust fans with tight cooling jackets, and high-precision split-housing centrifugal compressors. Its standard steel cage ensures smooth medium-to-high speed runs, providing a long-lasting electrical isolation barrier without altering housing dimensions.

The picture shows two inner ring coating bearings for motor, and the traction motor on the train.

Railway Traction Motors

In AC traction motors for high-power locomotives by CRRC or Alstom, to ensure strict electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and direct housing grounding designs, the bearing’s outer ring is strictly prohibited from being insulated. TFL 6228/C3VL2071 utilizes its VL2071 plasma-sprayed ceramic layer in the bore to cut off the leakage circuit directly at the rotor shaft. It blocks high-frequency shaft currents while its lightweight steel cage ensures smooth rotation, making it a highly recommended alternative for traction motor overhauls.

Heavy Water-Cooled Exhaust Fans in Metallurgy

In large centrifugal exhaust fans (e.g., Howden systems) operating under continuous high-temperature metallurgy conditions, massive amounts of exhaust heat conduct along the rotor shaft, causing extreme inner-ring temperature rises. Because the housing features an ultra-tight water-cooling jacket, applying a coating to the outer ring is impractical and severely impedes heat dissipation. TFL 6228/C3VL2071’s inner-ring insulation design perfectly matches this demand, blocking high-frequency current hazards without interfering with cooling heat transfer, while its C3 clearance safely absorbs severe thermal expansion caused by the internal-hot and external-cold temperature gradient.

Split-Housing High-Pressure Compressors

For large multi-stage VFD centrifugal compressors by Atlas Copco or MAN Energy Solutions used in chemical plants, the housing often adopts a “top-bottom split” design to facilitate lifting the large-shaft rotors. This structure demands absolute outer-ring conformance to the bore to ensure micron-level concentricity. TFL 6228/C3VL2071 resolves this contradiction with its inner-ring insulation. Without altering the original precision housing assembly processes, it isolates high-frequency VFD currents right at the rotor shaft, while its standard pressed steel cage ensures minimal running resistance under high-speed operations.

Q&A

During major overhauls of high-power VFD motors, why is the TFL 6228/C3VL2071 inner-ring insulated bearing usually only installed at the Non-Drive End (NDE)? Is it necessary to also replace the Drive End (DE) bearing with an insulated one?

In most motors, high-frequency shaft currents primarily form a closed circulating loop between the stator, rotor, and bearings at both ends [2]. Installing one insulated bearing at the Non-Drive End (NDE) is sufficient to break this loop and protect both bearings [2]. However, if the motor is extremely powerful (e.g., MW-class) or the shaft voltage is exceptionally high (exceeding 30V), leakage currents may flow through the coupling to the driven gearboxes, pump bodies, or rotary encoders. Under such high-risk conditions, installing insulated bearings at both ends (DE and NDE) is a critical step to achieve complete system-level electrical isolation.

Will the ceramic coating on the inner ring interfere with daily condition monitoring and early fault diagnosis of the TFL 6228/C3VL2071 using vibration sensors or Shock Pulse Method (SPM)?

Hardly. The thickness of the ceramic layer is only a few hundred microns. Although the alumina material has an extremely minor damping effect on ultra-high-frequency acoustic emissions (such as megahertz-level micro-metal impact resonances), its mechanical wave impedance is practically negligible within the vibration monitoring frequency bands commonly used in industry (typically 10Hz to 10kHz). Standard predictive maintenance techniques, such as RMS vibration monitoring, envelope demodulation spectral analysis, and shock pulse methods, can be utilized completely as usual.

Is the ceramic insulation material used in the TFL 6228/C3VL2071 bearing safe, environmentally friendly, and compliant with REACH/RoHS? Does the coating need to be stripped before remelting the scrapped bearing?

The insulation coating is fully compliant with REACH and RoHS environmental standards. Alumina (Al2O3) is a non-toxic and harmless natural oxide, and the sealing resin contains no prohibited hazardous substances. When the bearing is scrapped, it can be recycled together with standard steel bearings in standard steel furnaces. During the extremely high-temperature remelting process, the minor ceramic coating directly converts into slag, posing no negative impact on the steel quality or the environment, meaning no prior stripping is required.
