Integrated bearing assemblies group all required moving parts into one self-contained, precision-engineered component machine package. Each one of these devices is pre-assembled and pre-lubricated, so they’re classed as easy-to-replace system commodities. What’s more, since the parts package is so strikingly compact, it doesn’t occupy much space. That’s a desirable feature, especially in a densely loaded […]
Drive 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 […]
Different 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 […]
Surely 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, […]
If 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 […]
