Plain bearing design may be simple or complex. It may amount to picking a bearing from a catalog on the basis of PV factor or may require a sophisticated analysis of lubricant flow. Most slow moving ...

Journal bearing design is complex. It involves optimizing clearances, bearing length, minimum film lubricant, viscosity, flow rate, and inlet slots. Design equations are available, but their solution ...

A new wheel bearing from German supplier Schaeffler could lead to efficiency improvements in battery-electric vehicles. The supplier's new TriFinity design differs from standard two-row ball bearings ...

Composite bearings are employed in a diverse array of industries due to their strength, wear and friction characteristics, as well as their capacity to operate efficiently without the use of external ...
