There are various characteristics of roller bearings and cylindrical roller bearings that makes them unique to be used for different applications and performing environments. To help you understand it in a better way, this blog covers how roller bearings are different from cylindrical roller bearings. At first glance, roller bearings and cylindrical roller bearings may look quite similar. However, there are actually several key differences between these two types of bearings that can impact their performance. In this article, we will explore the key differences between roller bearing and cylindrical roller bearing so that you can choose the right type of bearing for your needs.

Sometimes there can be questioning to what is the best type of bearing for your application. Most of the time ball bearings become the go-to product, but make sure you are assessing all of the advantages and disadvantages. On some applications, a spherical plain bearing could be the best fit for your solution.

Spherical plain bearings are designed to provide rotational motion in omni-direction. There are primarily two types of spherical plain bearings, radial and angular contact. Spherical plain radial bearings offer high load carrying capability in primarily the radial direction. Spherical plain angular contact bearings are designed for high load carrying capability in mainly the thrust or axial direction.

Spherical Roller Bearing is designed to handle heavy-duty operations with higher loadbearing capacity and efficiency. This blog talks about various aspects to help you understand better about Spherical Roller Bearing.

Wondering which mounted bearing locking collar is right for you? There are a lot of options on the market, each with its pros and cons. When you’re evaluating your needs and selecting a bearing, it can be tempting to go with a cheap option or one that is widely available, but is that always wise?

The eccentric locking collar bearing is mainly suitable for applications where the direction of rotation is inconvenient. On one side of the inner ring of the bearing, there is an eccentric extension that cooperates with the locking ring. Rotate the locking ring on the inner ring extension in the direction of rotation and tighten the hexagon socket screw on the eccentric sleeve to lock the collar and bearing to the shaft. For example, 390000 series spherical bearings Y-bearings.

There are several types of bearings on the market today—each used for a specific purpose and design. Bearings are designed to carry distinct load types, radial or thrust. Ball bearings are a common type of rolling-element bearing that uses balls to separate the moving parts.

Ceramic ball bearings (also known as hybrid bearings) are the one component that’ll easily optimize the performance of your application. Hybrid bearings have ceramic (silicon nitride, Si3N4) balls and 52100 bearing steel rings.Choosing hybrid (HY) radial or angular contact bearings over conventional steel bearings offers key performance advantages.

A damaged transmission or a totally broken engine can be a result of engine bearing failure. If you do not detect the symptoms of worn engine bearings soon, you will have to pay a lot of money to fix or even replace your engine with a new one. The best way to prevent these issues is to detect and repair them as soon as possible. Therefore in this blog, we will show you some engine bearing failure symptoms that commonly occur in a car’s engines. Are you ready? Let’s go now!

A bearing is a machine element used to permit a rotary motion and transmit the power between machine parts. Rolling element bearings allow relative movement of joined two parts: inner and outer rings that move in opposite directions and are separated by rolling elements.

If you're an engineering enthusiast, you should know about creating the first-ever wheel. The oldest wheel is about 6000 years old. That's roughly when the domesticating of the animals began. The first known bearing was traced back to 4500 years ago and was used by the Phoenicians in the rudder shafts of sailing ships. The material used to create the bearing was lignum vitae, which is natural wood. Fast forward about 6000 years to around 1500, Leonardo Da Vinci draws the design of a ball bearing for his helicopter.

Electric motor bearings regularly experience high levels of stress when driving heavy loads. This makes them one of the most critical components you need to take care of to keep your motor running smoothly and consistently.

Because the design and uses of electric motors vary across many different industries, there are many different types of bearings used to support them. Here are just a few of them:Basic Ball BearingsBasic ball bearings are used for direct coupled applications. These are commonly seen in non-belted applications in electric motors that are under 150 HP. They can handle both radial and axial loads.

Variable frequency drives convert AC input voltage to DC, and then back to pulse-width-modulated AC voltage with variable frequency. These AC voltage pulses are controlled by insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). IGBTs have a fast switching time (also referred to as “rise time” or “dv/dt”—rate of change of voltage over time), which reduces energy losses and allows the drive to use a higher carrier frequency for sending output voltage pulses to the motor. But the downside of their fast switching time is that it creates parasitic, or unwanted, capacitance between the motor’s stator and rotor. This parasitic capacitance induces a voltage—referred to as “common mode voltage”—on the motor shaft.

Rolling-element bearings used in electric motors are at risk for various modes of failure if an incorrect maintenance or lubrication strategy is implemented. These include incorrect lubricant selection, contamination, loss of lubricant and overgreasing. This article discusses several effective strategies to minimize the likelihood of these failure modes.

Bearing failure is one of the top causes of motor failure and it's important to grease your bearings regularlly. We’ve recorded a video showing you the step-by-step guide to grease your bearings, or read the below article for the step by step guide.

As the name suggests, electric motor ball bearings are bearings that are used to support electric motors and make them function by transmitting the power between various elements of the machine or rotating the shaft. To help you understand more, This blog covers everything you need to know about electric motor bearings. The bearings are critical to support varied types of machinery and can work in any kind of environment within the mechanical systems. Electric motor bearings are designed to provide smooth, efficient operation of electric motors.
