Adverse environmental conditions disrupt high-fidelity bearings. Imagine dirt and grime working their way into the critical contact points between rolling elements. The result is shortened service life, but NILOS ring seals can stop these contaminants in their tracks. The all-metal sealing mechanism ensures uncompromised, interference-free rolling operability is assured, for no pollutants can pass these […]
When greasing the proverbial wheels of industry, maintenance engineers take note of bearing housings that require lubrication. In this manner, drive shafts and their associated bearings are optimized, frictional heat is minimized, and equipment lifespan is assured. Greaseless bearings add an interesting element to this engineering conundrum, for no lubrication maintenance schedule is required when […]
Many distinctive engineering applications require non-standard or specialised ball bearings to solve unique issues. These devices function as efficiently as their commonplace cousins, but they serve in uncommon situations. Unusually sized drive shafts with proprietary keyways represent a not so typical example of this practice, as do obsolete standards that didn’t find universal adoption. Whatever […]
Pillow block bearings merge the familiar rounded profile of a standard bearing into the metal block of a pedestal to form a unified whole. The resulting outline is flat on the bottom and round on top, so it can be mounted to a fixed flat surface while the round aperture remains clear and ready for […]
Deductive reasoning is a handy skill set to have on tap, for the logical side of the brain can quickly intuit how double row self-aligning bearings will look just from reading the label. That spark of logical deliberation can infer from the label, and rightly so, that there are two rows of balls skating around […]
