We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Roller Bearing",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Compact grippers made for pick and place from
FS Engineering, which we summarised at the time by saying "A range of compact grippers, suitable for accurate small parts pick and place applications, includes parallel and angular double acting, self centring and light weight units".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Some bearing developments reviewed from
Mike Page - editor's feature articles: "All engineers, whether in production, design or process industries, should keep a watch on bearing developments, as their reliability can determine plant efficency, writes Mike Page".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Kasto
concerning its Circular saws
- take a look at Modular circular saws are easy to use
which says: "Modular circular sawing machines feature sturdy construction, efficient drives and easy operation for use in machine shops, construction equipment industries and stockholding companies".
Take a look also at the news release from Michael Smith Engineers, Sealless pumps effective for cleaning,
as well as Improved performance hub bearings from SKF UK,
and High precision indexer is high speed from Hardinge Machine Tools.
