What are spherical roller bearings?
By Chris Wilson Spherical roller bearings are a type of rolling-element bearing that is designed to withstand arduous operating conditions and environments. The main draw of these types of bearings is that they are self-aligning, which gives them … [Read more...]
Timken split cylindrical roller bearing housed units for hard-to-service bearings
The Timken Company has launched the Timken-brand line of Split Cylindrical Roller Bearing Housed Units designed to reduce maintenance time and cost where bearings are mounted in hard-to-access locations. Now customers have even more options for … [Read more...]
Cylindrical roller bearings from TBB Bearing
Cylindrical roller bearings have rolling elements that are completely different from ball bearings; they are cylindrical in shape — creating higher radial load capacity than ball bearings of same size. Advantages: 1. Higher radial load carrying … [Read more...]
Timken AP bearings for crushing equipment
Shock loads and contamination make crushing equipment one of the toughest kinds of equipment for precision components, particularly bearings. Keeping machine availability high and total cost of ownership low in these harsh conditions requires … [Read more...]
Rotary bearings: Answers to common questions
Bearings are internal machine components that are crucial to motion applications. They reduce friction between moving parts by giving a surface something on which to roll rather than slide. Rotary bearings consist of smooth rollers or metal balls and … [Read more...]
