The Roadmap 2025 updates Schaefflers business strategy to 2025, sets out a program for its implementation, and includes a set of medium-term targets. The medium-term targets for 2025 had been publis...

As industrial companies are looking to save costs across their system and plants, one of the most important actions a manufacturer can take is to consider the total cost of ownership (TCO) of its components. In this article, Allen Dowers, VP Sales Applications Engineering at The Barden Corporation explains how this calculation e...

With 13 per cent of bearing failure attributed to lubrication factors, bearing lubrication is a fast-evolving area of research, supported by academics and industry alike. Here, Chris Johnson managing director of EZO bearings supplier SMB Bearings, explains how new innovations in polymer-based lubrication could increase lubricati...

The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR), a world leader in engineered bearings and power transmission products, has acquired the assets of Aurora Bearing Company (Aurora). Aurora manufactures rod ends and spherical plain bearings, which serve a diverse range of industrial sectors, including aerospace and defense, racing, off-highway equi...

Wear and tear naturally occur over time for any bearing. For parts used in high-speed applications, the negative effects of wear and tear can become a major issue much sooner. High-speed applications create a pair of problems for your bearings wellbeing: more heat and friction. Without proper planning and precautions, the added ...

Bearing rings and balls are not perfectly round and the balls and raceways, even after extensive fine grinding and polishing, are not perfectly smooth. There are machining imperfections in the form of rough or uneven surfaces which will cause one ring to move or oscillate radially in relation to the other causing bearing vibrati...

Bearings are critical components in any piece of rotating machinery. Their primary function is to support the rotating shaft whilst reducing friction to facilitate smooth motion. Due to the vital role that bearings play within machinery, its important to regularly inspect your bearings for any issues, whilst ensuring that mainte...

The secondary causes of bearing marks appearing in the process of installation are: NSK bearings are skewed in the inner ring and outer ring during assembly and assembly; or perhaps the emergent charge in the process of installation and assembly sags the load, which eventually forms bearing emergent scars. When the bearing is be...

Overcurrent often occurs on wheelset bearings and traction motors (rail vehicles), DC and AC motors (power transmission systems), and generators (wind power). Overcurrent may cause damage to the raceway and rolling elements and the aging of the lubricant, causing premature failure of the motor or generator, resulting in increase...
