Software that examines bearing fundamentals leads to better designs. The rolling elements in antifriction bearings are critical components that can affect the overall performance of an entire machine.

Fasteners installed near the end or edges of load-carrying members often carry more than just the applied load. They also carry a hidden load generated by bending moments in the load-carrying member.

Wind turbines are fitted with multiple bearings that each wear differently. Today, larger stresses in larger turbines are testing conventional bearing designs, particularly in mainshafts. Photo ...

With dozens of types of bearings and hundreds of thousands to choose from, selecting the correct bearing for your application can be a daunting task. However, if the right factors are carefully ...
