A Ball Bearing is a type of rolling element bearing that uses balls to maintain separation between the races of the bearing. They are used in many applications where smooth running is imperative. Listed below are a few of their common uses. Read on to learn more about these important bearings. Under... read more
The selection of seals and bearings is critical to the proper functioning of rolling and rotating parts. These devices allow linear and rotational movement while limiting friction. They also disperse stress caused by radial and axial loads. Unless properly selected and maintained, bearings and seals... read more
The ceramic bearings used in the cycling industry are a controversial topic. This is because they are cheaper and reduce friction significantly. But what is the difference between a ceramic and steel bearing? This article will explain the benefits and disadvantages of ceramic bearings. It will also ... read more
A Y-bearing unit can be used in a wide range of applications, including agricultural machinery, construction machinery, conveying systems and packaging lines. These units are extremely light and easy to mount, and they feature a spherical outer surface and matching bore. As their name implies, they ... read more
The Double-Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing is an example of a self-aligning bearing. As a result of its radial clearance, it can be axially positioned in both directions. The open design and self-aligning properties of this bearing make it a great choice for applications that require maximum performanc... read more
