A simple one-piece sleeve is sometimes better for reducing friction than complex rolling-element bearings. Besides being greaseless, journal bearings can be made out of high-tech plastics for weight ...

Learn how root cause analysis and integrated data prevent hydropower bearing failures, reduce costly downtime, and improve ...

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 ...

Tilting pad journal bearings are used in turbomachinery such as turbo compressors, turbo gears, gas turbines, or steam turbines. There is an ongoing and growing customer demand for bearings with ...

COAL-FIRED POWER plants use gearboxes located on the top of each coal pulverizer to drive the rotating classifier. Rotating classifiers ensure that the coal is of the appropriate size for proper ...

What do clocks, skateboards, and industrial machinery have in common? They all rely on bearings to maintain their smooth rotational movements. However, to achieve reliability, they must be maintained ...
