Ball-to-ball friction in bearings generates heat, limits the speed, and shortens the life of linear-motion guides. To solve these problems, engineers at THK designed a caged-ball system that places ...

Precise movements are made with precision slides. Reciprocating linear bearing accuracy, the possible runout in any plane, is typically as low as 0.005 in./in. Because linear bearings are only as ...

HOBOKEN, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / April 28, 2021 / Line shaft bearings do not cause pump problems, unless the wrong bearing material is selected for the pump operation. With pressure to cut costs, many pump ...

The filament wound fiberglass and epoxy resin combine to form a very high strength backing. This precisely wound fiberglass structure allows for thin-walled bushings (1/16″ to 1/8″), reducing the size ...

Rotary Air Bearings provide High Precision Motion with Minimal Eccentricity and Wobble. The rotary air bearing on the left is non motorized – its low friction is apparent from the long time it keeps ...

OXFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RBC Bearings Incorporated (Nasdaq: ROLL), a leading international manufacturer of highly-engineered precision bearings and components for the industrial, defense and ...

The vast majority of bearing failures in electric motors and electric motor-driven equipment are due to mechanical and thermal causes. However, currents that flow through induction motor bearings can ...
