We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Rolling Element 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 Vibration monitor detects rolling element failures from
IFM Electronic, which we summarised at the time by saying "A cost effective predictive maintenance vibration monitor detects rolling element bearing failures and shaft imbalance conditions even where there is an explosion hazard".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Failure prediction with vibration monitor from
IFM Electronic: "Preventive maintenance becomes more effective with bearing condition monitoring using vibration sensors".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Shell Lubricants
concerning its Shell Stamina HDS synthetic grease
- take a look at Synthetic grease reduces bearing down-time
which says: "A combination of the latest technology thickeners, high quality additives and base stock oil has produced a synthtic grease to give better bearing service life and resistance to 'heat soak'".
Take a look also at the news release from Greeff, Bearing greases raise machine performance,
as well as New drive solved washing machine problem from Yaskawa Engineering Europe,
and Bearing maker invests GBP 1.5m in manufacture from Revolvo.
