It would be difficult to imagine the modern industrial age without bearings. Every kind of machine that deals will motion makes use of bearings to smoothen its path and reduce friction. Such an important piece of technology did not fall into the...
Needle bearings make use of small cylindrical rollers to carry out their function. The term “needle” implies that the length is much greater than the diameter; typically the L/D ratio is between 3 and 10. The main purpose of needle bearings is to...
Food and Beverage industry regulations are increasingly placing greater demands for production of safe drinks. To meet these demands, plus the requirements of safety management systems such as Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points (HACCP), the...
Spray cans have become such an integral part of our lives that we tend to take them for granted. But in doing so we forget that these products are a result of sophisticated engineering practices that have been studied and refined over several...
We tend to view roller bearings as the sole domain of the world of heavy-duty manufacturing, but the truth is, they service many of our everyday needs as well. Here are 4 sports that millions enjoy which owe their existence to roller bearings:
A thrust bearing is a type of bearing which belongs to the rolling element class of bearings. They allow rotation between machine parts while supporting an axial load. These bearings bearings are used in machines, including thrust ball bearing,...
Precision ball bearings have become an unseen but crucial part of the modern industrial age. Nearly every type of machine that is responsible for some kind of motion makes use of bearings to make their movement smoother by reducing friction. Such a...
As is common in North America, many families will sit down to enjoy their Thanksgiving meal with a gathering of extended family and friends. True to form, there’s always that one family member who will inevitably start the “what are you thankful...
