Heat is one of the most effective methods used to mount bearings. This is because when the inner ring is heated, it expands to allow the bearing to slide onto the shaft without the need for excessive force.
Since its invention in 1898 by Henry Timken, the tapered roller bearing has become a staple in many industries, with applications across the globe relying on the tapered roller bearing for reliable operation. But where did this bearing come from, and how has it evolved over time?
Bearings are the most common machine component, found in almost every industrial application in the world. The history of the bearing dates all the way back to 2,600BC; find out how we got to the bearings we know today.
Part 6 of The ABC has us asking "Why Do Bearings Fail?" and going in depth with all the possible reasons that your bearing may fail.
SKF sealed spherical roller bearings offer an innovative option for businesses that are looking to prioritise sustainability by reducing their grease consumption. Not only do these bearings offer a solution to grease leakage, but they exhibit outstanding operating characteristics.
With around one in six premature bearing failures occurring as a result of poor fitting practices, it’s easy to see why it’s so important that bearings are fitted properly. But there are so many different ways to fit a bearing – how do you know which is right for your machinery?
Read ACORN'S honest review of the SKF Explorer spherical roller bearings and it's real-world performance.
We look at how black oxide bearings could help to improve operational reliability in wind turbines, by driving downtime requirements and minimising machine breakdowns.
Do you know how much your components are costing you over their lifespan? You could be suprised by how much your components are actually costing you.
The sheer amount of different types of bearings can be overwhelming, in part 5 we take you through all the different types of ebarings and what they're used for.
