Common Uses of Stainless Steel Popular Metric Series Bearings
Blog | July 24th, 2018Popular metric series bearings are small and built to maintain frictionless separation between undersized drive components. Profiled with stainless steel bore sizes that fit within the miniature 1-mm to 10-mm bearing gauge, miniature metrics are designed to support small medical devices, servo motors, and many other commonly used drive configurations. High-functioning metric bearings even support […]
Most Common Bearings Used in Automotives
Blog | July 9th, 2018An automobile, what most of us call a car, exists because of numerous engineering breakthroughs. Thanks to those technological milestones, people can drive anywhere, even offroad. But this is a wheeled vehicle, a machine that relies on many rotating mechanical parts, so it takes a special set of rolling elements to make vehicles move. There’s […]

Over-lubrication in Bearings: Why Should This Be Avoided?
Blog | May 27th, 2018Is bearing over-lubrication a problem? It seems unlikely. After all, we’d expect more oil to improve the slippery effect that governs bearing utilization. Counterintuitively, that “more is better” approach can actually impair the rolling elements. At this juncture, the best advice we can give is to avoid this unwise practice. But why? What possible reason […]
