Experts at Schaeffler Group discuss stray current damage and new technologies and materials to boost bearing performance ...

The Hub Saver, an all-American-made wheel-mounted safety device designed to retain the hub assembly when an outer bearing begins to fail, while still allowing adequate clearance and lubricant flow for ...

Loss of Lubricant - if the bearing is not re-greased at the appropriate interval, with the proper amount of grease, or if the oil is removed from the base of the grease by overheating, loss of ...

Fluid film thrust and journal bearings should provide plant operators with years of worry-free operation. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Too often, premature bearing failure results in ...

Premature bearing failure is often blamed on ‘white etching cracks’ – but looking deeper for the true underlying cause will lead to a more effective solution, says Erik Vegter, Senior Scientist for ...

Bearing failures are the most common cause of electric motor and generator failure. Maintenance professionals can optimize the life of these machines by following industry best practices for bearing ...

Researchers at Purdue University are teaming with the US Air Force to develop tiny wireless sensors tough enough to survive the harsh conditions inside jet engines to detect when critical bearings are ...
