Bearings have been used for thousands of years — styled from wood, metal, and now plastic. These rolling components are critical in motion control applications, assisting in sliding, turning, and ...

When machine vibration increases, one of the first questions to ask is: “Is a failing bearing causing the vibration?” In the case of rolling element bearings, it’s not difficult to separate vibration ...

AN analytical technique for predicting precision bearing performance from race profilometry has been developed in this laboratory. This development is an outcome of research directed towards improving ...

Suppose you were in the middle of nowhere, and there were no signs or landmarks to help you find your way. Would you know how to find your way home? Someone might tell you via phone or radio to 'walk ...

This is the third and final report in a series, Selecting, Configuring and Lubricating Tapered Roller Bearings for High-Speed Machine Tool Spindles. The first installment is Selecting Tapered Roller ...

Keeping thrust bearings cool is a matter of design with a different cooling strategy for each type of thrust bearing. • Lowering oil temperature can extend the life of thrust bearings. • Tapered ...

Significant advances in bearing material quality, resulting in measurably cleaner steels, have provided increased ratings and extended performance in The Timken Company standard product tapered roller ...

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 ...

Siemens Mobility has presented Schaeffler with its 2025 Supplier Award in the “Moving Beyond” category, recognizing collaborative development of a new generation of axlebox bearings for high-speed ...

A new tapered bearing assembly, developed specifically for roller-cone rock bits, significantly increased bit life for a Middle Eastern operator. This technology can help oil and gas customers avert ...
