Different Types of Bearing Materials
Blog | November 10th, 2016Robust metals and polished ceramics efficiently manage the conflicting stress factors spinning inside bearings. A particular metal absorbs heat and readily dissipates the frictional energy. A separate application dismisses steel and replaces the hardened alloy with ceramic. The hardness rating of the product drops, but the speed of the bearing accelerates. In point of fact, […]
NILOS Ring Seals: Uses and Applications
Blog | October 26th, 2016Adverse 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 […]
Differences between Greaseless Bearings and Lubricated Bearings
Blog | October 11th, 2016When 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 […]
Non-Standard or Specialised Ball Bearings
Blog | September 26th, 2016Many 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 […]
What are Pillow Block Bearings?
Blog | September 19th, 2016Pillow 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 […]
