In this video, we speak with John Bacher, bearings manager for Primetals Technologies, at the company’s facility in Warren, OH. Bacher covers the basics about tapered roller bearings, from two-row tapered roller bearings (shown in the video) to four … [Read more...]
Spherical roller bearing basics: What do I need to know?
In this video, we speak with John Bacher, Bearings Manager for Primetals Technologies, at the company’s facility in Warren, OH. Bacher covers the basics on spherical roller bearings and goes into detail on some of the features unique to this … [Read more...]
What are thin section bearings?
As you may have guessed, thin section bearings are exactly like what their name suggests: thin. These parts feature a compact design that results in a thinner, more lightweight product than other types of bearings. As a result, thin section bearings … [Read more...]
What are cam followers?
A cam follower is a component that is intrinsically tied to a cam. Cams exist in many applications–dishwashers, sprinklers, etc.–but the most well-known example is that of a camshaft in a car. The goal of a cam is to convert rotary motion to linear … [Read more...]
What is an adapter bearing (Y-bearings)?
Adapter bearings are used in ball bearing units which consist of a precision wide inner ring bearing assembled into a housing made of cast iron, pressed steel, or rubber. The precision wide inner ring bearings are called y-bearings because their … [Read more...]
What is a mast guide bearing?
Industrial truck mast guide ball bearings are a family of special bearings tailored to meet application requirements. These bearings must be able to accommodate heavy radial loads, withstand heavy shock loads, and handle overturning moments produced … [Read more...]
What is an oil leveler?
As we have learned, lubrication failures are a leading cause of bearing damage. Oil levelers are designed for automatic adjustment of the optimal lubricating oil level within a bearing housing, gear box, crank case or similar oil bath lubrication … [Read more...]
What are bearing heaters and what are they used for?
If bearings are mounted using the cylindrical mounting process, it can take considerable force to achieve the necessary interference fits to prevent the bearing from spinning on the rotating component. Heating bearings is a good way to temporarily … [Read more...]
What are double direction angular contact ball bearings?
Double row angular contact ball bearings correspond in design to two single angular contact ball bearings, but take up less axial space. They can accommodate radial loads as well as axial loads in both directions. They provide stiff bearing … [Read more...]
What are bearing withdrawal sleeves?
A tapered bore bearing can be mounted onto a cylindrical stepped shaft through the use of a tapered withdrawal sleeve also. The sleeve is pressed into the bearing bore that abuts a fixed component. The sleeve is then located on the shaft by a nit or … [Read more...]
