productBNL has more than 40 years’ experience designing and manufacturing plastic bearings for material handling, food processing and industrial machinery systems.Its conveyor system range includes end cap bearings, sealed end cap bearings, skate wheel bearings and wheels and rollers in speciality materials that can withstand harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures.
articleExotic materials such as high-nitrogen steels make hybrid bearings suitable for extreme applications under conditions of poor lubrication or contamination, says Phil Burge, Marketing and Communications Manager at SKF
productAvailable from R J Mellor, the WLubeMon monitors that the correct amount of lubricant is discharged in accordance with the system design and this is fundamental in establishing a reliable lubrication system. The grease meter is installed either at the bearing entry or as near the lubrication point as possible to provide the best operating conditions.
productSMB Bearings now offers a small batch relubrication service. Those looking to buy or relubricate just a few bearings with specialised grease will no longer need to meet minimum order requirements.
productBowman International, has introduced a range of high temperature, self-lubricated PEEK-lined steel or bronze backed wrapped bearings.
articleMonitoring for early indications of bearing damage enables corrective action to be taken well ahead of bearing failure. Noise, high temperature running and excessive vibration are all indicative of imminent failure, allowing repair or replacements to be planned proactively rather than reactively, as Phil Burge, marketing and communications manager at SKF, explains
productSKF is making its high performance RSH seal design available on a larger range of SKF Explorer deep groove ball bearings. The RSH seal uses a highly optimised dual-lip configuration to provide additional protection in demanding environments.
