We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Rolling Bearings",
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 Greaser for linear guides and bearings is compact from
SKF UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Compact greasing unit for repacking linear guides and rolling bearings in machines and systems automatically supplies as many as five lubrication points with lubricant".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Play a major role in preseving natural resources from
NSK UK: "Rolling bearings are indispensable to machinery and equipment; their function is crucial in the role of transferring rotational energy with minimal energy loss: i e, energy conservation".
In November 2007, we covered the news from SKF UK
concerning its Electrical damage to bearings
- take a look at Avoiding electric currents from damaging bearings
which says: "The growing use of variable frequency drives is leading to bearing damage caused by the affects of electrical currents and Phil Burge explains how the latest bearings avoid the problem".
Take a look also at the news release from SKF UK, Growing use of variable frequency drives,
as well as Grey market bearings can be costly from Schaeffler (UK),
and Longer bearing life needs whole life consideration from Revolvo.
