Journal bearing design is complex. It involves optimizing clearances, bearing length, minimum film lubricant, viscosity, flow rate, and inlet slots. Design equations are available, but their solution ...

Precision high-speed machining requires low-friction bearings that provide dynamic stability. Hybrid bearings with ceramic balls run faster and have higher stiffness than comparable all-steel bearings ...

Significant operating and economic benefits can be realized by replacing a poorly functioning or damaged oil-lubricated turbine guide bearing with a water-lubricated design (Figure 1), as part of a ...

The challenge that machine tool builders face when designing spindles for milling machines and lathes is selecting bearings with the optimal balance of speed, load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and ...

It is not much of an exaggeration to say that the whole wind turbine industry rides on bearings. Wind turbines operate under arduous conditions. The bearings used in them must work reliably and have a ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Historically, posterior stabilized and cruciate-retaining knee bearings have been popular bearing types among ...

Rolls-Royce SMR has contracted Skanska UK to deliver an aseismic bearing pedestal demonstrator for its small modular reactor.

Bearings, though buried deep within a vehicle, are on the forefront in contributing to drivetrain efficiencies and delivering reliability for automotive manufacturers. However, the changing face of ...
