Bearings are used to support rotational or linear movement, decrease friction between two objects. There’re different kinds of bearings, which are quantified on their functions, design to carry particular types of loads, thrust or radial. Ball Bearings: Ball bearings have a niche area in the field of bearings as they can manage both radial & thrust loads. Moreover, ball bearings have the unique ability to carry loads and they feature unique construction. Ball bearings can be employed in different applications, such as: Automotive: Ball bearings are employed in all motor vehicles. These are mainly employed in parts such as drive lines, engine, steering, and driveshaft. Aerospace: Ball bearings are widely employed in space shuttles, and rockets as they help in easy & free movement. Paper making industry: Ball bearings are extensively employed in the paper-making machines. The bearings employed for paper making machines run under high-temperature. Tapered Roller Bearings: Th...

The manufacturing industry heavily depends on CNC (computer-numerical control) machining, including operations that once employed engineer-operated equipment such as shaping machines, routers, center lathes and vertical millers. The numerous CNC machine benefits mean operator-required equipment has in some scenarios been replaced totally. Manufacturers of many types across several industries choose the benefits of CNC machining for their fabrication & manufacturing applications. It offers competent, suitable and accurate production capacity perfect for producing large volumes of items usually produced with a grinder, router, center lathe, vertical miller or shaping machine. The CNC provides many financial & production benefits over the traditional method. For example, in manual lathing, there must be a competent technician for each machine, whereas with CNC machining, one skilled technician can run multiple machines. CNC machining produces a wide array of metal & plastic...

Also known as bushing, a plain bearing is a mechanical element employed to decrease friction between rotating shafts and stationary support members. Usually, a plan bearing depends on soft metal and an oil film to support the rotary shaft on the toughened shaft journal. Bushings are employed predominantly in mechanisms that have a revolving or a sliding shaft component. Also called sleeve bearings, journal bearing, or sliding bearings, plain bearings have no rolling elements. Some are composed of significantly soft metal, such as Babbit, to safeguard the shaft journals. Depending on the application & load requirements, they’re made of other materials as well.   Different types of plane bearings: Sleeve bearings: Sleeve bearings are the most common kind of plane bearing, and support linear, oscillating or rotating shafts. They work via a sliding action. Flange bearings : Flange bearings support a shaft that runs vertical to the mounting surface of a bearing. The flange of t...

According to a leading manufacturer of bearing & power transmission products, the majority of bearings in heavy industrial applications are taken off from service prior to they’ve reached their full useful & economical life.   Fortunately, improvements in bearing design, steel purity, bearing maintenance & repair processes have proved bearing repair to be a helpful way of prolonging bearing lifespan, making it a pocket-friendly alternative to buying new. The following advantages outline what companies have to gain from selecting bearing repair services over new bearing replacement. Huge cost & time savings: The process of bearing replacement is drastically more effective than that of buying a brand new bearing. Repaired bearing can be returned to like-new conditions in about 1/3rd of the time, costing up to 60% less than a new bearing. Equivalent service life to a new bearing: The preliminary bearing design takes into consideration the use and application of ...
