Brammer and NSK Bearings look at common types of bearing damage and how they can be prevented. Rolling element bearings are a key constituent part of virtually every rotating machine and consequently ...

• Plain bearings can replace rolling-element bearings in many applications. • Simpler designs and one-piece construction cut plain bearings’ maintenance requirements. • Larger contact areas let plain ...

Reliability and maintenance engineers are often given the task of improving the reliability of bearing arrangements in a variety of applications. Lubrication is a key area to explore for improvement ...

If your facility has recently seen an upsurge in bearing failures on boiler feedwater (BFW) pumps, you are not the only plant experiencing these unnecessary and costly failures. The failure causes are ...

The dynamic analysis of rolling element bearings forms a critical foundation for ensuring the reliability and efficiency of rotating machinery, from industrial gearboxes to high‐precision aerospace ...

A new surface coating for rolling element bearings has been developed by Schaeffler that insulates the bearings from damage caused by the passage of electrical current in large AC or DC motors.

In total, more than 100 billion rolling bearings are currently in operation worldwide. Rolling bearings are used in thousands of industrial, automotive, marine and aerospace applications. Statistics ...

Hardware costs: In high-volume lots, sleeve bearings and bushings are considerably less costly than rolling-element bearings. In mid-range volumes, prices are comparable. For special designs in small ...
