In security cameras, the bearings used are usually part of the motor assembly that powers the lens or pan-and-ti
mechanisms. Here's a brief overview of the types of bearings commonly found in these devices:
Ball Bearings:
Function: Provide smooth and precise rotation.
Advantages: High precision, durability, and ability to handle radial and axial loads.
Application: Often used in motors that need to operate quietly and reliably over long periods.
Sleeve Bearings:
Function: Provide a simple and cost-effective solution for rotation.
Advantages: Lower cost and simpler design.
Application: Typically used in lower-speed or less critical components.
Magnetic Bearings(less common):
Function: Use magnetic fields to support the rotating components without physical contact.
Advantages: Reduced friction and wear, potentially longer lifespan.
Application: More advanced or high-end security cameras might use these for very precise movements.
