Th e primary sources of bearing failure
are lack of lubrication and contaminant
ingress. Industrial sealing devices are the primary protection against bearing failure. When the sealing device fails, bearing failure is imminent. Th erefore, extending
the life of sealing devices extends bearing life and in turn improves equipment uptime.
Th e signing of a contract for more than 5,000 sets of SKF’s latest high-capacity cylindrical roller bearings (HCCRB) for wind turbines will impart added load-carrying capacity, more
reliability and longer life to the Nanjing Gear Company’s (NGC) line of gearboxes for wind generation applications.
In today’s increasingly competitive global economy, industries and the companies that serve them are always looking for an edge. Price and quality being routinely accepted as a given, businesses—large and small—are always looking for a little help. For the worldwide bearing industry, that help exists in the form of the Bearing Specialists of America (BSA).
Power transmission couplings are widely used for modifi cation of stiff ness and damping in power transmission
systems, both in torsion and in other
directions (misalignment compensation).
Robots are everywhere these days—
bots in the factory, bots in space, bots at the airport, bots in the movies and much, much more. But robots in the operating room?
When a bearing is damaged, it is often removed from service and replaced before it reaches its full, useful and economical life. Advancements in bearing design, materials, bearing maintenance and repair methods have greatly improved the potential for and popularity of bearing repair as an effective way to extend the life of the bearing.
Mean Time Between Failures is a very frequent and broadly used reliability measure of components, systems and devices used mainly in conjunction with electrical and electronic equipment.
