  • Bearing Closures - Bearing Seals and Bearing Shields
    Ball and roller bearings are available with different types of shields and seals. These are commonly referred to as closures. Closures can extend bearing life by preventing contaminants from reaching the critical surfaces inside the bearing, and they help retain the lubricant in the bearing
  • Bearing Wear
    PV (Pressure & Velocity) is the most common empirical tool to use when comparing and contrasting bearing. performance. "P" is related to pressure or pounds per square inch on the projected bearing area, while "V" is. velocity in feet per minute of the wear surface. Knowing the PV limit of a bearing
  • Bearing Measurement
    Grading of bearing components is a demanding post process gauging application. Both Flexures and Block Gauges provide fast and reliable measurements in hard to reach places.
  • Sleeve Bearing vs. Ball Bearing
    Sleeve bearings, also known as plain bearings or "friction " bearings, are the oldest of all bearing technologies. They are versatile bearings that can be used as a linear bearing, rotary, or a combination of both. Plain or sleeve bearings are generally simple but can be complex in design

  • Roller Bearing vs. Ball Bearing: What's the Difference
    for designs to be chosen directly from bearing tables in the manufacturers' bearing catalogs. Companies like SKF, NTN, NMB, TPI, Timken, FAG, Schaeffler, INA and many others are natural sources for selection of information. Much of the time the designer is able to select stock bearing products for his
  • Design of Bearing Fits
    For a radial ball bearing or roller bearing to function correctly, both the fit between the inner ring and shaft and the fit between the outer ring and the housing must be right for the application. The fit of the bearing is as important as selecting the correct-sized bearing.
  • Pump Bearing Temperature
    The maximum operating temperature for a ball bearing in a pump is the result of a number of factors.
  • What Is Bearing Preload?
    Bearing Preload is an axial or thrust load applied to a bearing that removes excess play. There are many ways to apply preload, as well as many benefits and potential problems with preload. This article will provide an overview of bearing preloading in common radial and angular contact ball bearing
  • Bearing Damage and Failure Analysis
    The bearing service life of a rolling bearing rotating under load can fail due to material fatigue and wear at the running surfaces of rings and rolling elements. Statistically stressed bearings may be made unserviceable by plastic deformation of the contact surfaces. Premature bearing failures
