  • Thrust Bearings. An Introduction to the features of each type
    Thrust ball bearings are designed for supporting axial forces. Thrust bearings are used when axial forces are too high to be transmitted by the use of radial ball bearings or where rigidity for guidance is required. In general small and medium-sized thrust ball bearings when used in normal
  • Why Use Non-Contact Proximity Sensors on Large Sleeve Bearing Machines
    oil-lubricated sleeve bearings. These sleeve bearings have larger distance tolerances between the shaft and the bearing surface compared to roller element or ball bearings used in smaller machines ( <700 horsepower).
  • Casters 101: Maintenance & Fitting
    of push to get a trolley rolling, and about 12kg (26.4lb) to keep it moving. This reduces to 6kg (13.2lb) over long distances. This is the reason that ball bearings and roller bearings are more popular than plain bearings, as they allow more load for the same push effort. Castors will not swivel
  • Lubricant FAQs
    Most ball or roller bearings (except needle bearings and some thrust bearings) as large as 25" outside diameter or as small as 1/8" inside diameter can be lubricated with Cobra Solid Lubricant. However, the bearing and its cage should be metal with at least C3 internal clearance. Note
  • Can a Bearing be Used for Both Linear and Rotational Motion?
    of bearings that can combine rotational and linear motion. Allowing for this motion though often requires a larger unit than other bearings relative to the size of the shaft.
