• 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.

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 ...

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 ...

Bakeries that view bearing selection through the lens of heat stability, contamination control and energy efficiency will ...
