Ball Bearing Inner Ring Fits and Creep
I think I spend more time talking about ball bearings today than at any other time in my career. Ball bearings have always had a large place in automotive, but not typically in high demand positions—other than a few niche areas. High demand positions, such as axles and planetaries, were typically reserved for tapers, needles and cylindricals. The landscape is changing quickly. Along the rotor shaft of an electric powertrain, ball bearings and cylindricals are the most popular choices to handle the high-speed demands, often accompanied with high load demands from the first reduction gearset.

Wholesale Changes in Electrification and E-Mobility
The inaugural North American version of the Lubricant Expo and The Bearing Show took place last week at Huntington Place in Detroit. A vibrant conference/education schedule balanced an informative group of exhibitors discussing component challenges, system upgrades and future trends. Innovation in the automotive, transportation and energy industries is keeping R&D departments busier than ever. Here’s why:
