Contamination and Bearing Life: Common External Factors that Affect Bearings
Blog | February 27th, 2017In a realm that allows for nothing but a series of rolling elements and a complementary set of polished rings, any contaminant whatsoever can cause major problems. These pristine moving parts only have room for a thin lubricating film, not coarse-grained hitchhikers. Still, knowledge is power, so let’s see what common external factors are out […]
Bronze Bushings: Common Uses and Functions
Blog | February 6th, 2017Bronze bushings are a type of plain bearing, a component that works in much the same manner as a steel bearing. Multipart bearings, however, are equipped with several moving rings and many rolling elements. Bushings are simpler constructs. They’re made from a single rounded cylinder or sleeve. Interestingly, these bronzed sleeves work very well as […]
Correct Bearing Installation Gives Maximum Optimisation in a Bearing’s Life Span
Blog | January 24th, 2017Sliding elements work in concert to assure fluid rotational motion. They slide while canceling friction and enhancing lubricative prowess. Of course, as efficient as these component parts surely are, they can fail. Correct bearing installation practices postpone this possibility, but what happens when the installation is substandard? Let’s address correct bearing installation methods, procedures that […]
The Crucial Role of Bearings in Automotive Products
Blog | January 20th, 2017Ironically, most drive components rotate, which means they’re not designed to generate linear motion. In fact, there are gears, drive shafts, and axles rotating within a vehicle, so their accompanying bearings have a crucial role in automotive products. They’re in the transmission system, the steering column, and even operating deep within the engine. Finally, well, […]
