The Large Bearing Testing Machine has been developed and primarily used for commercial testing of large bearings. It is capable of applying 1,600 kips (7,117 kN) vertical load, and lateral ...

Bearings are one of the most important components in a motion system. They’re also one of the most anonymous; and that’s by design. When bearings need attention, there’s usually a problem. The time to ...

Selecting a set of bearings to withstand anticipated loads is a common design task with power-transmission equipment. Another deals with finding a cumulative component reliability that exceeds the ...

Bearings define speed, load-carrying capacity, precision, and stiffness, and they contribute to the spindle operating temperature, vibration, and noise during operation. It wasn’t so long ago that a ...

Nuclear power plants depend on electric motor-driven pumps to circulate coolant through a closed system of pipes to help dissipate excess heat. These machines, reactor coolant pumps (RCPs), must be ...
