What are Variable / Adjustable Speed Drives?

August 31, 2017

In the context of bearing technology, variable speed drives regulate motor shaft velocity. Gearing configurations alter the power transmitting characteristics of a drive system. Alternatively, electronic devices also act as adjustable speed drives, although they use voltage and frequency manipulating circuits, not actual adjustable mechanical components. Do both of these drive speed manipulating configurations perform […]

Chrome Steel and Stainless Steel Flanged Bearing Material Differences

August 14, 2017

Flanged bearings are readily identifiable mechanical components. Unlike their plain bearing cousins, flanged devices aid the mounting of problematic radial components, such as high-vibration drive parts. Typically fastened inside a mounted housing or a pillow block, we’ve decided to look beyond this outer form and assess the material differences between chrome steel and stainless steel […]

StS Couplings from Germany: Available at Global Bearing Imports

July 25, 2017

Couplings play a crucial role in drive technology since they connect two shafts together in such a way that motion can still transfer to one from the other in the proper fashion. For this reason, you should always purchase quality ones for your purposes. We are proud to broadcast the fact that we offer StS […]

How Does Shelf Life Affect Bearing Performance?

July 17, 2017

The shelf life of an item is defined as the maximum length of time a product can be stored in a usable condition. Batteries have a built-in storage lifespan, as do many chemical products. Those chemicals, even the ones inside the batteries, deteriorate over time when they’re left on the shelf. As for bearing performance, […]

What are Hybrid Ceramic Bearings?

June 26, 2017

The term hybrid ceramic bearing applies to a rolling element class that uses composite technology. A quick look at the metal races reveals refined stainless steel rigidity. That alloy won’t fracture but will absorb large quantities of friction-generated thermal energy. Meanwhile, on looking at the rolling bearings, it’s ceramic, not metal, that maintains a frictionless […]
