‘Lubricant’

A Manufacturingtalk guide

Start with the news release Igubal plastic bearings increase system durability from Igus UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Igubal system provides design engineers with a complete range of self-aligning bearings made of tribo-optimised plastic.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Barden bearings make surgical robots more accurate from Barden Corporation: "Trevor Morris, product engineering manager at Barden, describes how super-precision bearings help guarantee the accuracy and flexibility of articulated arms used in surgical and industrial robotics.".
 
In May 2009, we covered the news from Studer Schaudt - take a look at Schaudt grinds transmission shafts at 200m/s which says: "The Schaudt Shaftgrind S allows machining with different wheel widths and the interpolating generation of relief grooves and plunge-cuts with an electroplating tool.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from SKF UK, SKF dry lubrication safely boosts line efficiency, as well as Nanolub improves performance of gear oils from ApNano Materials, and Igus develops efficient energy chain systems from Igus UK.
