Self-lubricating resins can make plane bearings quiet, durable, and put them on the FDAapproved list. Plane bearings are simple: Two surfaces moving against each other without the aid of a rolling ...

Greases help sleeve bearings operate with less maintenance. Understanding bearing oscillation angle, temperature, friction, and grease replenishment requirements will keep bearings working longer.

Reliability and maintenance engineers are often given the task of improving the reliability of bearing arrangements in a variety of applications. Lubrication is a key area to explore for improvement ...

Rolling-element bearings are used for the precise guidance of moving parts. Frictional losses are extremely small because the bearings rest on rolling elements, enabling very heavy loads to be ...

Several factors influence the quantity of grease that would go into a bearing at the selected interval. Critical factors include: Design of the bearing (plain, roller, ball or spherical roller). Type ...

The useful life of a tapered roller bearing depends to a great extent on the proper lubrication of the bearing. The useful life of a tapered roller bearing depends to a great extent on the proper ...

Bearings are usually taken for granted-until the bearing comes out in more pieces than when it went in. We'll explore the selection, installation and maintenance of various bearings which will allow ...
