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...]
What are angular contact thrust ball bearings?
Angular contact thrust ball bearings are separable, i.e. the washers and ball and cage assemblies can be mounted independently. Although originally designed to support the rotary tables of drilling rigs, they are also suitable for other applications … [Read more...]
SKF on recognizing bearing danger signs
SKF Training Solutions has added a new video to its Technical Tip Video Series. In this video, Joe Conyers covers, danger signs for bearings to help engineers and technicians achieve their personal Education/Training requirements. The Technical Tip … [Read more...]
What characteristics are specific to yaw grease?
Yaw bearings are operating with heavy loads and moments, but should provide smooth rotation and resistance to corrosion and wear. Along with these conditions, long-lasting, economical bearings are also a market expectation. Yaw greases are specially … [Read more...]
SKF Explorer tapered roller thrust bearings
The oil and gas industry continues to push the limits of technology. Deeper wells, harsher environments and more sophisticated drilling approaches all place additional demands on equipment, calling for larger, more powerful and more robust solutions. … [Read more...]
What is a grease packer?
Shaped like a grease gun, the grease packer is a low-pressure alternative for emptying grease cartridges. It provides an easy and clean alternative to manual grease packing of open bearings, and can even be used in other open applications like … [Read more...]
SKF on rotating idle bearings
SKF's Technical Tip Video Series is a compilation of short, one topic videos that provide information on achieving better bearing performance. Here, we see a video covering the handling of bearings. The video specifically covers the rotating of idle … [Read more...]
What is an oil storage station?
Did you know that approximately 50% of all premature bearing failures come from poor lubrication and contamination? These issues can be addressed through preventative maintenance and attention to detail. During storage, maintenance, and transfer, … [Read more...]
What are labyrinth seals for bearings?
Labyrinth seals are a common type of mechanical seal used to prevent contamination within a bearing system's design. Bearings are frequently used in locations with prolonged exposure to abrasive dust, dirt, debris, or mud. In these heavily … [Read more...]
