Insights, Guides, and News on Industrial Bearings and Applications

Ball bearings are widely used in multiple machines and devices. They serve the purpose of friction reduction and improvement in mechanical systems efficiency. With metal in their structure, whether ball bearings are magnetic appears often. This is the focus of this blog as we look at the science of ball bearings and identify the existence of magnetism...

Lubrication is one of the critical factors that can help enhance the performance and service life of components when carrying out machinery maintenance. This blog focuses on the basic principles of bearing lubrication, particularly on plain bearings. However, bearing lubrication is more than just introducing oil or grease into the bearing; it involves,...

Slewing bearings, also called slewing rings or turntables, are devices employed in different machines and equipment requiring the rotating action of two or more which are parts of the machine. These bearings enable the assembly to withstand axial, radial and tilting moment loads and can be used for many applications. In excavators, construction cranes,...

Various industries seek novel methods to enhance their operations and are rapidly embracing the modernization of processes through automation. One of the adopted alternatives is a magnetic bearing, which offers a high-performance substitute for traditional mechanical bearings. Unlike their conventional counterparts, magnetic bearings utilize electromagnetic...

Magnetic bearings are a game changer because they allow for the non-contact support of rotating parts in machines. In sharp contrast to traditional bearings, which depend on bearing surfaces to contact and rub against one another, the shafts of magnetic bearings are suspended in a magnetic field and do not experience contact, friction, or wear. This...

Bushings, or plain bearings, occupy an important place in mechanical systems thanks to their simple design, which is cheap as well. Detail rolling bearings transfer motion through rolling elements, whereas sliding surfaces are used in plain bearing, which transfers significant bearing loads; this feature leads to a wide application of plain bearing...

The magnetic attributes of steel ball bearings are essential for various businesses that engage sophisticated tools and machine engineering processes. In this blog post, attention shall be paid to steel ball bearings, deciding whether they are magnetic by shape or on possession and how they matter in use. We will focus on the composition of steel ball...

In this article, we prepare the reader to enter into the fascinating world of thin section bearings by explaining what they are used for, how they are made, and the advantages they possess. These bearings are economical space-wise and are widely used in many applications as their performance is not ridiculed. We will consider the thin-section ball-bearing...

In today’s machines, plain bearings fill in many gaps as they are required to interface the moving components. Unlike rolling-element and similar ones, these bearings depend on sliding motion to reduce friction and wear of moving surfaces, providing quiet and smooth operation. The article aims to examine the plain bearing’s construction and its composite...
