By Drew Devitt from New Way Air Bearings Gas bearing lubrication in Turbo equipment has been making slow but steady progress. Almost all fluid film lubrication applications in Turbo equipment use hydrodynamic, (in the case of oil) or aerodynamic (in the case of gas) bearing technology. This type of lubrication uses the relative shear between […]

High precision custom engineered bearings ensure reliability of satellite reaction wheels Increasing numbers of smaller, more cost effective telecommunications satellites are being launched into the Earth’s orbit, which has led to a growing need for high precision, high reliability bearings to support onboard sub-systems such as reaction wheels and other critical mechanisms, says Gary Hughes, […]

As a result of pillow block bearings that were failing every six weeks on the multiple-belt dough-prove section of a process line, a UK-based tortilla wrap manufacturer turned to NSK for help. Investigations by NSK’s expert engineering team attributed the failures to the ingress of flour particulates and set-screw loosening (shaft creep) due to vibration. […]
