The Large Bearing Testing Machine has been developed and primarily used for commercial testing of large bearings. It is capable of applying 1,600 kips (7,117 kN) vertical load, and lateral ...

Early failure detection and analysis on today’s complex machine systems could mean cost savings in the long run for companies. Rochester Institute of Technology engineering students built a dynamic ...

Bearings are one of the most important components in a motion system. They’re also one of the most anonymous; and that’s by design. When bearings need attention, there’s usually a problem. The time to ...

Bearings define speed, load-carrying capacity, precision, and stiffness, and they contribute to the spindle operating temperature, vibration, and noise during operation. It wasn’t so long ago that a ...

They could if they are made from powder metal (PM). Engineers have relied on bearings and bushings made from PM for over 80 years, and recent advances have made PM parts even more attractive. Reliable ...
