The tiniest miniature ball bearing in the world is smaller than a grain of rice and can rotate at a speed of over 5,000 rpm.
Ball bearing failure is expensive and frustrating but there are several common sense steps you can take to prevent it if you follow these tips and hints.
Belt drives are, for the most part, trouble free, but because of that, their maintenance is often overlooked. We’ve put together 5 Belt Drive Enemies to look out for. Keeping these five enemies at bay...
Fitting a new v-belt to a drive can be a nightmare for a maintenance engineer – particularly if you have to totally dismantle the drive in order to fit the belt. Firstly, you check you’ve got the right...
There are very many factors that influence ball screw selection. The following are a few key areas to consider.Axial force requiredAll ball screws require guidance and can only ‘see’ axial forces....
The Roman Empire is well known for its amazing feats of engineering, many of which have heavily influenced contemporary machinery.
We explore how ball bearings are made from the beginning in the third part of our series...
In part 2 of our series, we continue to look at the process which creates the amazing ball bearing...
The precision when it comes to manufacturing a ball bearings from the start of the process to the end of the process is astounding. Here's how they do it...
Wear in roller bearings is usually caused by the introduction of foreign particles, inadequate lubrication, or vibrations in the bearing...
V-Belts and Wedge Belts are commonly used in industrial applications and also in auto repairs. Their names describe the type of belt as when the belts themselves intersect; they form a V shape or wedge...
A Gearbox can be a gear or hydraulic based system that transfers mechanical power from an engine or motor to an output device which will perform the required function.
Ball bearings and roller bearings come in a wide range of shapes and sizes which have thousands of different applications.
Bearings are given their name because the balls inside have to 'bear' the wight of objects and because of the way they are made.
Needle bearings are a small cylindrical type of roller bearings which are used to prevent friction between moving surfaces which have low ratational speeds.
Power transmission is the movement of energy from its source to where it’s needed and it’s essential to choose the correct power transmission products for your bearing application. According to the world’s...
