Tapered roller bearings for haulage equipment
Put a few tons on your back, climb steep grades, make a few sharp turns and do it over and over again – that’s what’s expected from haulage equipment. Whether it’s articulating trucks or shuttle cars, they move a lot of material without much space to … [Read more...] about Tapered roller bearings for haulage equipment
Tapered roller bearings for long wall shearer
The confines of underground mining mean that equipment must become more and more productive without increasing size. When downtime ranges between $30,000 and $50,000 an hour, increased uptime means more profit. Longwall shearer cutters … [Read more...] about Tapered roller bearings for long wall shearer
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...] about Rotary bearings: Answers to common questions
Schaeffler rotor bearings for wind turbines
All the forces from the wind act directly on the rotor bearing support in a wind turbine and the rolling bearings are therefore subjected to highly dynamic loads and operating conditions. A range of powertrain designs have established themselves on … [Read more...] about Schaeffler rotor bearings for wind turbines
