Mechanical                   Bearings & Lubricants

Top Product

  • Interchangeable angles

  • Improved lubricity

Tapered bearing. Recent design changes to this company’s tapered roller bearings have resulted in improved performance and durability. A new retainer design provides greater oil retention and improves lubricity on the roller surfaces. This change minimizes friction and evenly distributes lubrication for longer bearing life. The cup and cone angles remain interchangeable with those of comparable manufacturers. Test results show more than eight times L10 life, and at competitive prices. An online engineering catalog is available with both inch and met-ric sizes. Basic load ratings and tolerance data are given. Manufacturing facilities are rated QS9000. Peer Bearing Co, Waukegan, IL.  www.rsleads.com/204df-255

 


Linear bearing system. Designed for high-frequency, short-travel applications where lubricants are not desirable, the DryLin bearing system consists of DryLin R linear plain bearings with pillow blocks and DryLin S aluminum shafting. igus inc, E Providence, RI.  www.rsleads.com/204df-256

 

 


Segmented bearings. Designed for applications in which conventional ball bushings or other rolling element bearings are unsuitable, segments are offer flexibility to conform to unusual shapes and envelopes. Thomson Industries, Port Washington, NY.  www.rsleads.com/204df-257

 

 


Spherical bearings. Five basic types of spherical plain bearings are offered: Standard Radial, accommodating misalignment for heavy radial or thrust loading; Extended Inner Ring, eliminating locational spacers; High Mis-alignment, featuring a heavy cross section; Angular Contact, single acting for unidirectional thrust and combina-tion loads; and Self-Lubricated for low maintenance with Teflon, dry film or injection-molded polymer lubrication. AST Bearings, Montville, NJ. www.rsleads.com/204df-258

 

 


Hydrodynamic pressure bearings. Formed by stacking, petal-shaped, laminated AlSi alloy plates packed with special grease inside a steel case, the BBSPLN series of bearings operates at speeds up to 20,000 rpm. Quality Bearings & Components, Hyde Park, NY.  www.rsleads.com/204df-259

 


Application Xtra


    BONUS BEARINGS & LUBRICANTS exclusive to designfax.net

Roller cam follower. Two new sizes have been added to the company’s cylindrical roller cam family—1- and 11/8-in. dia. These sizes are suited for use in small- to medium-sized machines requiring precise motion control. RBC Bearings, Fairfield, CT.  www.rsleads.com/204df-260

 

 


Lubrication systems catalog. The company’s new catalog, entitled PurgeX Centralized Lubrication Systems, covers their line of centralized lubrication systems., providing details on dimensions, specifications and engineer-ing data. The patented single-piece injector systems are described in various actuation modes—electric, motor, air-operated and spray units. The catalog is available free upon request. Oil-Rite Corp, Manitowoc, WI.  www.rsleads.com/204df-261

 

 

 


Rebuilt bearing cages. For about half the cost of new bearing cages, rebuilt cages last as long as new ones. Premium-grade balls are held within 0.000025-in. tolerance, and this company guarantees the work . Precision Ball Specialties, Williamstown, NJ.  www.rsleads.com/204df-262

 

 


Bearing development services. This company offers custom bearing engineering services, including advanced rotor dynamics calculation/simulation tools, noise and vibration analysis, tribology, metallurgy, mechatronics, coatings and testing. SKF, Norristown, PA. www.rsleads.com/204df-263

 

 

 


Bearings guide. The 28-page LEG SlimLine Design Guide for low-profile LEG thrust bearings provides com-ponent descriptions, feature and benefits, lubrication and performance comparison charts and selection instruc-tions for 6-, 8- and 11-shoe bearings. The equalizing bearing features a Leading Edge Groove that lowers frictional losses and lube oil requirements while reducing oil film temperatures. Kingsbury Inc, Philadelphia, PA.  www.rsleads.com/204df-264

 

 

 


Food-grade lubricants. The FG series of fully synthetic food-grade fluids is formulated specifically for use in food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing plants. They are USDA H-1 approved and NSF listed. Kaeser Compressors, Fredericksburg, VA.  www.rsleads.com/204df-265

 

 

 


Lube system. The 780S-SS lubrication system provides precise distribution of medium-viscosity greases and other lubricants to spring, tracks, hinges and other hardware. Only 4-in. long by 1-in. dia., the spray valve uses LVLP air to put lubricant exactly where it is needed and cuts lubricant use by 50% or more. A compact, micro-processor-based Valvemate controller simplifies setup and operation for fine-tuning. EFD Inc, E Providence, RI.  www.rsleads.com/204df-266
