Ball screw drive systems are used in a large variety of applications where rotational motion needs to be translated into linear motion, with low friction (high mechanical efficiency) and a high degree of preciseness. Typical applications are in aerospace (fly-by-wire), automotive (power steering), precision assembly systems, rob...

SKF has unveiled a pioneering model that, for the first time, enables the working life of hybrid bearings to be determined more realistically. Called the Generalized Bearing Life Model (GBLM), its development will ensure that SKF customers and distributors choose the right bearing for the right application, every time. Until now...

With the first version of the new SKF configurator which is launched end of last year, we caught up with Victoria Van Camp, CTO at SKF, to hear about the impact of the configurators for the industry and the challenges that we are all facing due to the pandemic. We reacted very fast and became much more flexible. We typically now...

The very best of NTNs ball bearings, available in Europe. NTN-SNR pursues the roll-out of CM internal clearance on its range of deep-groove ball bearings. In step with a process launched last year, CM internal clearance is now spreading to the whole range of deep-groove ball bearings so that bore diameter codes 00 to 06 are also...

Linear roller bearing systems offer distinct advantages in applications where high speed or quick change of direction is required. Due to the fact that their diameter is larger, they also perform well in contaminated environments where they roll over or push particulate from the raceway. However, due to the nature of the design ...

Full propulsion marine current power plant Made by SKF now installed at the Scottish sea The development of tidal power is supported by the global drive to transition from fossil fuels to more sustainable alternatives. It is intended to help reduce climate-damaging CO2 emissions, slow down global warming and thus build a more su...

On 18 February 2021, a new rover landed on Mars with a mission to search for signs of ancient microbial life. When that day arrived, Timken senior application engineer John Renaud ventured a fist-pump and a Yes! The bearings for the descent brake that lowers the rover to the surface were his design, after all. But Renaud says de...

US bearing manufacturer Timken held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new project in Xiangtan High-Tech Industrial Development Zone (PRC, Hunan Province) on March 15 to expand its existing manufacturing base. The ceremony marked the start of the construction of the second phase of large bearing production for wind power industry a...

SKF imported bearings are widely used, and bearing installation, use, cleaning and maintenance are also very particular. Therefore, there will naturally be some problems in the use of SKF bearings. Today, Eric Bearing Limited will explain to everyone about the installation and maintenance of SKF imported bearings. 1. SKF bearing...
