When a machine is subjected to a noise-reduction program, bearings are normally involved.

V-belts in classical and single-belt configurations are not optimum from the standpoint of load transfer.

Backlash: The AGMA standards recommend backlash ranges to provide proper running clearances for mating gears.

Belts provide an efficient load transfer between shafts on a wide variety of applications.

Operating most efficiently is a machine's first step to maintaining productivity.

Bearing torque is the moment required to overcome internal friction to start or maintain rotation of one ring while the other is stationary.

In most lip seals, increasing fluid pressure increases lip-contact pressure.

In this process, the material is inherently self-lubricating or the mechanism does the work of delivering lubricant to critical points.

Generally, ball bearings are less expensive than roller bearings for small bores and light loads, whereas roller bearings are less expensive in the larger sizes and heavier loads.

Plain bearing design may be simple or complex.

Unlike lip seals and squeeze packings, felt seals require relative little shaft pressure to function effectively.

Bearing deflection or yield is elastic deformation occurring between balls and raceways because of external loads.

Moving an item or conveyor in steps or increments is called indexing.

When a tapered bearing is subject to a load, a force develops between the roller and the cone back-face rib because the load tries to squeeze the rollers out of the bearing.

These seals are quite similar to rod and piston seals, but are adapted to rotary motion.
