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 particulate

NSK Ltd. (NSK; Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President and CEO: Toshihiro Uchiyama) has developed new high-efficiency bearings for high-efficiency motor applications. The new bearings reduce energy loss to an unprecedented low level.

Machine tools and other precision applications require superior bearing performance. Extended speed capability, a high degree of running accuracy, high system rigidity, low heat generation, as well as low noise and vibration levels are just some of the challenges.Rolling bearings for general industr

SKF super-precision cylindrical roller bearings are characterized by:l high speed capabilityl high radial load carrying capacityl high rigidityl low frictionl low cross-sectional heightThese bearings are therefore particularly well suited for machine tool spindles where the bearing arrangement must

Self-aligning ball bearings have two rows of balls, a common sphered raceway in the outer ring and two deep uninterrupted raceway grooves in the inner ring. They are available open or sealed. The bearings are insensitive to angular misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing (fig. 1), which ca

Double row deep groove ball bearings (fig. 1) are very suitable for bearing arrangements where the load carrying capacity of a single row bearing is inadequate. For the same bore and outside diameter, double row bearings are slightly wider than single row bearings in the 62 and 63 series, but have a

Single row deep groove ball bearings are available capped (with seals or shields) or open. Open bearings that are also available capped may have recesses in the ring side faces (fig. 1). SKF inch bearings in the EE(B), RLS and RMS series are intended as aftermarket items and, therefore, SKF recomm

Deep groove ball bearings are particularly versatile. They are suitable for high and very high speeds, accommodate radial and axial loads in both directions and require little maintenance. Because deep groove ball bearings are the most widely used bearing type, they are available from SKF in many de

NSK Cylindrical Roller Bearings are available with a patented high strength cage design in pressed steel, machined brass or polyamide. Special materials are available for more arduous applications. Cylindrical bearings offer low noise and low heat generation, and by virtue of the line contact betwe

The linear ball bearing (also called ball bushing or shaft guiding) consists of a polymeric cage with raceway segments made of hardened steel to guide the ball sets within the complete system. Recirculating balls provide unlimited stroke at low friction movement.

This type of bearings is designed so that the cups, cones and rollers have tapered surfaces whose apexes converge at a common point on the bearing axis. This type is suitable for applications involving heavy or impact loading. Taper roller bearings consist of an inner ring (cone), an outer ring (

NSK has made a vital contribution to the growth and advancement of the various industries that rely on machinery. As a comprehensive bearing manufacturer, NSK responds to needs in a wide variety of fields.A surprisingly large number of bearings can be found all around us. Take automobiles, for examp
