Pick A Better Bearing for Compressors  Compressors have used metal-polymer bearings over more traditional types in refrigeration and air conditioning units for 20 years or more. Yet these bearings are the new kid in town compared to traditional metal bearings. Lubrication conditions can directly affect the performance and reliability of compressor bearings. So which is better and why?

The Hot News on Bearing Failures
 All bearings and lubricants have ideal temperature ranges. But how do mechanics in the field and plant understand and keep the ideal range for maximum bearing life expectancy? Bearings are generally monitored through vibration analysis, oil analysis, and/or ultrasound. Can predicting premature failure be as simple as taking a temperature?

Sealing Shafts Supports Lip Loads
 A basic fact known to all mechanical engineers is rubber radial lip seals keep lubricants in and contaminants out of mechanical systems. Yet seal operating parameters often lead to wear tracks which in turn affect energy savings. To avoid energy consuming loads, check out these seal design options.
