The Mechanical Requirements for Bushings
Blog | November 20th, 2022When a lubrication film is present between two comparably moving surfaces, the friction conditions of the two contact surfaces can be categorised as hydrodynamic lubrication, boundary lubrication, or solid lubrication, depending on the nature of the lubrication film. Continue reading to discover more about the technical conditions that must be met to keep Bushings in […]
The Contributing Variables to Bearing Performance
Blog | November 7th, 2022Manufacturers in nearly every industry — food processing, steel fabrication, aerospace, and medical devices, to name a few — are steadily increasing the performance expectations they have for rolling-element bearings while at the same time subjecting them to a wide variety of operating and environmental conditions. Although excellent performance is always expected, one thing that […]
The Untold Uses of Needle Roller Bearings
Blog | October 23rd, 2022There are numerous kinds of bearings, the most common of which are ball bearings, followed by tapered roller bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, and spherical roller bearings. Their construction satisfies unique technical criteria, making them suitable for a particular use. Among these is the needle roller bearing, which is not as well-known but is nevertheless necessary […]
The Life of Bearings, Explained
Blog | October 10th, 2022When functioning under typical conditions, the inner and outer rings of the bearing and the rolling elements are continually loaded and unloaded as the bearing rotates. This leads to fatigue in the material, which finally leads to bearing failure. The term “basic rating life” refers to the total number of revolutions that must be reached […]
Other Things You Should Know About Linear Motion Bearings
Blog | September 26th, 2022Linear motion bearings are designed to move along a linear axis linearly. Because they are a bearing, they make it possible for a substantial amount of weight to be moved in a straight path with relative ease. As its name suggests, the linear bearing supports the object’s load without inhibiting its ability to move linearly. […]
