• 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 ...

Proper bearing selection depends on load analysis, speed requirements, precision needs, and environmental conditions to ensure system reliability and efficiency. Ball bearings offer high precision and ...

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.

Bearings, although buried deep within the vehicle, are on the front line in contributing to drivetrain efficiencies and delivering reliability for automotive manufacturers. Thomas M. Wolf, Application ...

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 ...

Brammer and NSK Bearings look at common types of bearing damage and how they can be prevented. Rolling element bearings are a key constituent part of virtually every rotating machine and consequently ...
