Plain bearing design may be simple or complex. It may amount to picking a bearing from a catalog on the basis of PV factor or may require a sophisticated analysis of lubricant flow. Most slow moving ...

Adding new features and capabilities to bearings improves productivity and lowers costs. Bearings have long been used to reduce friction, support loads, locate shafts, and reinforce system rigidity.

While the ball bearing might be among Leonardo Da Vinci's less celebrated inventions, it's arguably one of his most important. Though it was initially designed as part of his failed helicopter ...

Significant operating and economic benefits can be realized by replacing a poorly functioning or damaged oil-lubricated turbine guide bearing with a water-lubricated design (Figure 1), as part of a ...

The challenge that machine tool builders face when designing spindles for milling machines and lathes is selecting bearings with the optimal balance of speed, load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Historically, posterior stabilized and cruciate-retaining knee bearings have been popular bearing types among ...

It is not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole wind turbine industry rides on bearings. Wind turbines operate under arduous conditions. The bearings used in them must work reliably and have a ...

Bearings, though buried deep within a vehicle, are on the forefront in contributing to drivetrain efficiencies and delivering reliability for automotive manufacturers. However, the changing face of ...
