productBearing change delivers savings at plate rolling mill
A major steel manufacturer that was experiencing high maintenance costs relating to bearings on a plate rolling mill has improved the situation using an application specific product replacement from NSK.
productLots about lubrication of rolling bearings
A new publication from Schaeffler UK contains a wealth of useful information for engineers who want to learn more about the principles, methods, selection and testing of lubricants for rolling bearings.
productLubricants and rolling bearings
Available from Schaeffler UK, ‘Lubrication of Rolling Bearings’ is a publication that contains useful information for engineers who want to learn more about the principles, methods, selection and testing of lubricants for rolling bearings.
productAssesses condition of low-speed bearings
MISTRAS Group has introduced a portfolio of services and monitoring solutions to assess the condition of rotating and reciprocating low-speed bearings (LSB) for high value capital plants and machinery.
articlePlastic bearings and staying power
High-performance plastic bearings are continually working to forge a path into almost every industry – from packaging machines and medical devices, to automotive and many more. However, there are still sceptics in the engineering community due to the misconception that plastic is inferior or weaker than metal. Robert Dumayne, director at igus, looks at how plastic bearings compare to sintered-bronze and PTFE-lined bearings
productCast iron solutions
Metallized Carbon Corporation supplies standard, cast iron pillow blocks and flange blocks with self-lubricating, carbon-graphite bearing inserts for applications where oil/grease lubrication cannot be used. These bearing assemblies provide low friction and long, maintenance-free, wear life in very high temperature applications.
productExtremely low friction
The new drylin double hybrid roller linear bearings from igus are designed to give extremely low friction. The technology is suitable for use in manually operated applications such as machine guards, door adjustments and furniture.
productOil-free pure refrigerant lubricated bearings
SKF has announced the availability of its new pure refrigerant lubricated bearings, a special oil-free solution for direct drive centrifugal compressors in chillers that use low-viscosity refrigerant as the bearing lubricant.
productTwo-in-one bearing lubricator
Schaeffler has launched a two-point lubricator for rolling bearings. The system provides two separate lubrication points that can be individually adjusted to supply bearings with varying lubricant volumes.
