Bearing

Aerospace bearings - Tuthill Controls

AS81935-compliant, PTFE-lined, rod-end bearings have male or female threads in wide or narrow series.

Slimmed-Down Magnetic-Bearing Systems Fit More Rotating Machinery Applications

Smaller components and streamlined control electronics transform magnetic bearings from expensive and bulky to compact and affordable.

Ceramic Bearings Save Energy, Extend Life
1

All-ceramic bearings mean less power lost to lubricant viscosity, seal friction, and bearing inertia.

Self-lubricating pillow blocks - Thomson

Lube for Life linear-bearing pillow blocks use self-lubricating cartridges pressed into each end of the pillow block housing.

Precision thrust ball bearings - SKF USA Inc.

The BS series of super-precision, angular-contact, thrust ball bearings have static load ratings up to 245 kN, fatigue load limits up to 9.15 kN, and top speeds up to 17,000 rpm

Geared slewing ring - igus

Geared PRT slewing rings replace ball bearings and other rolling elements with sliding elements made of low-friction, self-lubricating polymer. A toothed belt mounted on the bearing’s inner or outer ring is driven by a sprocket. The ring module arrives ready to install.

Keeping Thrust Bearings Cool
1

Engineers can keep thrust bearings cool by tweaking oil-groove count, taper geometry, and pivot location. Here’s how design changes affect temperature.

Here is how to Keep Sleeve Bearings Cool

Reducing bearing temperature improves performance, but not all cooling techniques offer the same benefits.

Plain Bearings Outperform Rolling-Element Bearings

Plain bearings can outperform rolling-element bearings in strength, cost, and durability for many applications.

Scanning for Ideas: Machine Measures Bearing Torque

Bearing torque is defined as the torque needed to overcome both static and dynamic friction between a bearing’s inner and outer rings.

Product Spotlight: Bearings: Plastic bearings offer environmental benefits

Iglide plastic plain bearings contain solid lubricants, so no oil or grease is required. This prevents environmental contamination. The lightweight bearings reduce the mass of vehicles and aircraft, cutting fuel consumption and carbon dioxide output.

Product Spotlight: Bearings: Bearings improve fuel efficiency

“Twin tandem” four-row angular contact ball bearings for SUV and light-truck wheel-hub assemblies reduce fuel consumption and carbon- dioxide output. This design replaces each row of tapered rollers with two ball rolls to create a fourrow ball system that lowers rib and bearing friction

Product Spotlight: Bearings: Self-aligning ball bearings

Available with cylindrical or tapered bores in diameters ranging from 5 to 130 mm, the MRC self-aligning ball bearings  come in open or sealed types and in various cage materials (polyamide, machined brass, or pressed steel).
