Essentially, ball bearings help to minimize friction and thus enhance the workings of various machines and systems. Still, identifying friction sources present in the ball bearings is also essential to help maintain them and increase their usability. The primary objective of this post is to understand various sources of friction in ball bearings, including surface […]

As the engine works, crankshaft bearings are crucial components that allow free movement and stay in place. However, their loss is quite common and can affect the life and operations of the engine. Crankshaft bearings are exposed to very harsh conditions, and this article will try to analyze how and why these components wear out […]

It is essential to maintain machine bearings properly to increase their working life and minimize unplanned downtime in industrial operations. This blog’s main purpose is to outline all aspects of proper machine-bearing maintenance with particular reference to activities aimed at improving their performance and prolonging their service life. Properly branded attention-bearing maintenance includes the following […]

In many mechanical systems, bearings are dynamic machine elements that support rotating shafts and provide smooth rotation of parts with minimum friction. But like most mechanical devices, bearings are also prone to failure, which could cause severe interruptions to processes and time and financial losses. This understanding of the bearing failure mechanisms or reasons is […]

In the operating mechanism of a machine, bearings are critical constituent parts that help minimize the friction between two or more sliding parts and hold the parts in motion, be it rotary or linear movement. Bearing failure is a common phenomenon that can ultimately lead to equipment shutdown, increased repair costs, and unexpected loss of […]

Bearings demonstrate significant importance in almost every machine, and their sustenance and durability depend on their smooth functioning, which is achieved through several internal components. Bearing seals are at the forefront of protecting and conserving these parts and help keep the outer contaminants away from the bearings while preserving the internal lubricant. This blog explores […]

Industrial processes and machinery depend on the components being intact and the required reliability to perform efficiently and serve for long periods of time. A common problem encountered in the area is electrical pitting, which, if uncontrolled, can erode bearings and contribute to machine breakdowns and expensive downtimes. This article aims to discuss electrical pitting, […]

Bearings are of utmost importance as components of any machinery as they provide support to the motion of the moving parts between them. These bearings can become damaged over time; catastrophic failure could occur if such damage is still prolonged. Evidence of bearing degradation could save the company time and money due to unnecessary downtime […]

As an automotive enthusiast or professional, it is essential to understand the fundamentals in which engine bearings may fail. Engine bearings are crucial parts that support the crankshaft together with the rods so that the engine operates smoothly by reducing the amount of friction. Sadly, if these engine bearings happen to fail, it means that […]

A mechanical system’s effectiveness and operational life are primarily determined by the type of machine bearing chosen. Thus, the bearing selection should never be taken lightly. This post will present the selection criteria in detail, including their application. Considering the bearing type, materials used, and additional load factors is of great importance in ensuring proper […]
