A golf-ball-like surface improves lubricant flow inside bearings. Any golfer knows that a ball with dimples has vastly superior aerodynamic characteristics versus one that's completely smooth.

A culture of continuous improvement remains central to Air Bearings Ltd’s position as best of breed in the manufacture of drilling spindles. TM assistant editor Edward Machin investigates how a ...

If operating speeds top 500,000 DmN, or if the system’s bearings are preloaded, NSK recommends adopting one of three standard run-in procedures. The bearing design and application experts at NSK ...

Hybrid taperedroller-spindle bearings help machine tools cut without cutting fluids. Machine tools are one of the most challenging environments for bearings. This is particularly true for gear-cutting ...

The bearings inside an engine are critical for taking the massive forces that actually drive a car forward. The crankshaft turns the reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotational motion that ...

Schaeffler’s standard deep groove ball bearings set the benchmark when it comes to relevant technical characteristics, such as minimising friction and noise. Reduced friction means, for example, lower ...

Bearings, by design, are energy-saving devices. They limit friction between moving parts in countless machines and, over hundreds of years, have continually evolved toward greater efficiency and ...
