Oil and vibration monitoring combined in one system
Schaeffler is launching a combined system for monitoring both vibration and oil contamination on heavy-duty gearboxes
Bearing technologies offer benefits for power transmission designs
Rotary bearings are integral to most power transmission systems and are therefore an area on which design engineers should focus when attempting to reduce product costs, minimise maintenance requirements and enhance reliability. Paul Stevens reports
Needle roller bearings: 60 years and still evolving
Typical applications for caged needle roller bearings are gearboxes, automotive power transmission systems
Hydraulic-class electric cylinders
MP-Series heavy duty Electric cylinders offer greater flexibility than their hydraulic counterparts
Lube for Life pillow blocks extend life of linear bearings
Thomson is introducing Lube for Life self-lubricating linear bearing pillow blocks that offer the advantages of freedom from maintenance-free and extended operating life
Linear pofile guide rail brakes deliver high holding
Nexen's latest spring-engaged/air-released brakes provide a very high clamping force, yet they achieve this without having any effect on the bearing surfaces
Electric actuators: alternative to pneumatic cylinders
Tolomatic ERD actuators deliver forces of up to 334N at speeds of up to 1016mm/s, with the user having control over the speed, acceleration and thrust
Hard chrome plates linear bearings are corrosion-resistant
Hepcomotion's hard chrome plated LBG linear ball guides are said to be an economical alternative to stainless steel units for use in harsh environments
