• Plain bearings can replace rolling-element bearings in many applications. • Simpler designs and one-piece construction cut plain bearings’ maintenance requirements. • Larger contact areas let plain ...

Linear-motion bearings deal with the problem of providing low-friction translational (rather than rotational) motion. Sliding-surface bearings are stiffer and deflect less under load than ...

A new surface coating for rolling element bearings has been developed by Schaeffler that insulates the bearings from damage caused by the passage of electrical current in large AC or DC motors.

KINEX BEARINGS’ production programme includes a wide assortment of standard and special rolling bearings for different industrial branches. Production plants went through complicated historical ...

Vertical lathes (VTLs), especially large ones, are used to manufacture critical parts in most heavy industries including aerospace, wind, oil-and-gas, and many more. The bearing that supports the ...

In total, more than 100 billion rolling bearings are currently in operation worldwide. Rolling bearings are used in thousands of industrial, automotive, marine and aerospace applications. Statistics ...

Bearing failures are the most common cause of electric motor and generator failure. Maintenance professionals can optimize the life of these machines by following industry best practices for bearing ...

A new tapered bearing assembly, developed specifically for roller-cone rock bits, significantly increased bit life for a Middle Eastern operator. This technology can help oil and gas customers avert ...
