STS Metal Bellows Couplings: High Quality Brand and Functionalities Combined
Blog | October 10th, 2019Drive couplings are expected to provide adequate power transmission efficiency. Well, the word “expected” doesn’t really do this challenging operation justice. There can be no backlash, no shaft deviation, and no connection misalignment issues in evidence when two shafts are properly power-synced. A tough mandate to implement, engineers use the slight give-and-play built into bellows […]
The Differences Between Roller Bearings and Ball Bearings
Blog | September 17th, 2019Different from ball bearings, cylindrically fashioned roller bearings are built to handle heavier loading effects. Basically, those tubular rolling elements are more capable of distributing force over a larger area. They can, therefore, process heavier rotating weights. Not to be outdone, since spheres curve equally in all directions, they’re better at tackling thrust forces. Equipped […]
The Effects of Lubricant Incompatibility to Bearing Life
Blog | September 2nd, 2019Surely there’s already enough bearing fatiguing forces in play? Thrust forces pull at rolling elements while micro welds roughen point contact zones. Spalling races create noise and excessively high thermal envelopes while heavy loads threaten to crack stainless steel rollers. Making matters worse, lubricant incompatibility hardships can leach a bearing’s slippery properties. The oily stuff, […]
Understanding Split Roller Bearings: What Makes them Different From Other Types of Bearings
Blog | August 19th, 2019If you’ve ever had to dig through your toolbox to fix something, you know just how many fittings there can be. At Global Bearing Imports P/L, we understand that it can be hard to keep up with all of the special fittings and components that are out there. In order to help you out, we […]
The Difference Between Anti-friction Bearings and Hydrodynamic Bearings
Blog | August 6th, 2019Classed as rolling contact devices, anti-friction bearings operate on a well-recognized principle. Their rolling elements are in contact with one another. Set in motion, the lubricated rollers power along, and between, two rings while locked inside a caging mechanism. For hydrodynamic bearings, a whole other process is taking place. Instead of a group of solid […]
