Designers can now design complex bearing arrangements more quickly and easily, thanks to a simplified version of powerful simulation software from SKF. Bearings are a fundamental part of any machine: ...

Journal bearing design is complex. It involves optimizing clearances, bearing length, minimum film lubricant, viscosity, flow rate, and inlet slots. Design equations are available, but their solution ...

Tapered roller bearings are designed to handle both radial and axial loads. They have a tapered inner raceway (called the cone), a tapered outer raceway (called the cup), and conically shaped tapered ...

Significant operating and economic benefits can be realized by replacing a poorly functioning or damaged oil-lubricated turbine guide bearing with a water-lubricated design (Figure 1), as part of a ...

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Researchers at Southwest Research Institute have designed and built a 60,000 rpm gas bearing test rig to test the rotordynamic stability of gas bearings. The use of gas ...

A new wheel bearing from German supplier Schaeffler could lead to efficiency improvements in battery-electric vehicles. The supplier's new TriFinity design differs from standard two-row ball bearings ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Historically, posterior stabilized and cruciate-retaining knee bearings have been popular bearing types among ...

CHICAGO — Posterior-stabilized (PS) bearings used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may increase the risk of revision compared with bearings of other design, new data suggest. That possiblity has ...
