How mounting can optimize slewing ring bearing performance
When designing with slewing ring bearings, the right mounting is essential to properly distribute the load and stress. Without an adequate structure, bearing performance usually suffers — and often … [Read more...] about How mounting can optimize slewing ring bearing performance
The case for thin section bearings
For applications that demand maximum performance despite space and/or weight restrictions, designers should give serious consideration to thin section bearings. While conventional bearings often have … [Read more...] about The case for thin section bearings
4-point bearings do triple duty while saving space
A four-point contact ball bearing makes it easy to simplify machine designs that have a combination of radial, thrust and moment loads because it can handle all three simultaneously. They are … [Read more...] about 4-point bearings do triple duty while saving space
Shifting gears: simplify your design with slewing ring bearings
A slewing ring bearing has rolling elements designed to create a reactive moment within the bearing's dimensions envelope, to oppose applied (overturning) moment load. This makes it practical to use … [Read more...] about Shifting gears: simplify your design with slewing ring bearings
Why bigger isn’t always better: the case for thin section bearings
Kaydon's new capacity calculations for thin-section bearings For applications that demand maximum performance despite space and/or weight restrictions, designers should give serious consideration … [Read more...] about Why bigger isn’t always better: the case for thin section bearings
How to prevent bearing corrosion
A new Kaydon white paper explains how to avoid bearing corrosion by analyzing five critical service conditions early in the design process: performance requirements (load, accuracy, fatigue life, … [Read more...] about How to prevent bearing corrosion
Not all thin-section bearings are created equal
ABMA standard 9 and ISO 281 give equations for calculating the “Basic Dynamic Radial Load Rating” for ball bearings. These equations are based on a number of assumptions, many of which are not valid … [Read more...] about Not all thin-section bearings are created equal
