Correct lubrication in bearings is very critical to their performance. Strictly speaking, the lubricant in a bearing directly affects its maximum running speed, temperature, torque level, noise level, and lifespan. Good lubrication provides a thin film between the contact areas in a bearing, which can help in minimising unnecessary friction, dispersing heat, and preventing corrosion. […]
Turbine engines, vehicles, construction equipment, and other types of machinery utilise the use of machine elements. This specific element makes them move and function smoothly without any signs of slowdowns. All the rotation movement on the mentioned types of machinery rely heavily on bearings. What is the purpose of bearings? Bearings are vital to the […]
To maintain the separation of bearing races, a ball bearing is deployed. This type of rolling-element bearing reduces rotation friction and supports loads of the rotating assembly. At least three races are used to contain the balls and transmit the loads through these balls. As the bearing races rotate, the balls of the rotating assembly […]
Almost all manufacturing facilities of food, steel fabrication, aerospace, marine, automotive, medical devices, and others use rolling-element bearings. These bearings are among the most significant contribution of modern technology that makes any business produce products faster than ever before. They carry and support the load and transmit power while allowing relative motion between two structures. […]
Generally, bearings are made to carry load and facilitate motion. As a result, they have a wide range of applications. They are commonly incorporated in automobiles, computer fans, washing machines and many other industries. There are two main types of bearings namely ball bearings and sleeve bearings. To further know where to apply them best, […]
