LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The global anti-friction bearing market is projected to grow to USD 48.48 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of more than 4% over the forecast period, according to Technavio’s latest ...

Bearings, by design, are energy-saving devices. They limit friction between moving parts in countless machines and, over hundreds of years, have continually evolved toward greater efficiency and ...

Torque required to put a bearing into motion from rest is usually higher than that required to keep it running once it starts. Starting friction, therefore, has an important influence on the power ...

SKF in Sweden has developed a new family of bearings that reportedly reduces friction and energy consumption by at least 30%, compared to standard ISO products. SKF in Sweden has developed a new ...

SKF Grouphas rolled out a line of energy-efficient bearings for driveline applicationsthat could cut friction by up to 30 percent and carbon dioxide emissions by upto 13 gm per mile. The new bearings ...

The mechanical properties of natural joints are considered unrivalled. Cartilage is coated with a special polymer layer allowing joints to move virtually friction-free, even under high pressure. Using ...

To improve both the durability and reliability of the main bearing, and also to reduce friction, a technique was developed to measure transient sliding friction of main bearings in a firing engine.

Bearings can use steel or ceramic balls, but that begs the obvious question: which is better? Should you stick with ...
