Ball Bearing with Plastic Cages: What are they?
March 15, 2016
The cage of a ball bearing shuns the spotlight, leaving the twin races and the rolling elements to claim center stage, but that doesn’t mean the hidden mechanical separator isn’t important. Quite the opposite, the cage is responsible for keeping the sandwiched balls evenly spaced as they interact with the deep-grooved rings. It offers radial […]

Versatility and Different Uses of Ball Bearings
February 21, 2016
Bearings with concentrically arranged rings (races) are manufactured as relatively simple geometrical assemblies. The deep-grooved rings trap a set of toughened balls and create a balanced interaction zone between the spheroids and the steel bands. The assembled parts work in tandem, with the uniform dimensions of the balls generating an efficient force handling profile, one […]

Australian Supplier of Quality Zen Bearings and Zen Product Line
February 15, 2016
Engineers have to overcome big challenges when incorporating bearings into their designs. They select the friction mitigators to carry a burden but balance this feature against rotational fluency. The load is heavy or light, and the velocity of the bearing is fast or slow, leading to designs that are necessarily tasked with a number of […]

A Simple Guide in Keeping Ball Bearings from Failure
January 21, 2016
When bearings function as designed, they’re the very personification of fluid action. Ball bearings, workhorse handlers of radial friction, work as a blur, with the concentrically arranged metal spheres smearing into a single fast-turning whole when regulating rotational forces. It’s a thing of beauty when the operational domain is properly functioning, but, should the bearings […]

Applications and Uses of Tapered Roller Bearings
January 13, 2016
Not every industry or application restricts its rotating parts to a lateral operational plane. Shearing forces and axial thrust work in tandem to jeopardise such two-dimensional functions, pushing a drive axis in directions that cause mechanical stress. A standard roller bearing may not be up to snuff in this scenario, which leaves designers scrambling to […]
