Sales of electric vehicles (EVs) are poised to increase dramatically. According to a recent report from IHS Market, these vehicles will account for more than 30% of new cars sold in key markets by 2040 - up from just 1% in 2016. Anthony Simonin, … [Read more...]
Celebrating 100 years of the spherical roller bearing
Originally developed in 1919 by an SKF engineer, Arvid Palmgren, the spherical roller bearing (SRB) has since made its mark worldwide. Created to complement the self-aligning ball bearing, due to its ability to accommodate misalignment under heavy … [Read more...]
New portable sensor and mobile app from SKF
SKF Pulse combines an easy-to-use handheld sensor with a new mobile app, allowing users to quickly monitor rotating equipment and machine health to predict issues and improve reliability before operations are impacted. For more advanced analysis, … [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...]
What are bearing adapter sleeves?
In adapter mounting, a tapered bore bearing is mounted onto a cylindrical shaft through the use of a tapered adapter sleeve. Many typical split pillow block applications use an adapter sleeve to mount. The shaft seat does not need to be machined to … [Read more...]
