Even if a CNC machining center is equipped with spindle bearings that are optimized for a duty cycle at the time of purchase, there is no guarantee the bearings will be optimized for future duty ...

Bearings define speed, load-carrying capacity, precision, and stiffness, and they contribute to the spindle operating temperature, vibration, and noise during operation. It wasn’t so long ago that a ...

Selecting a set of bearings to withstand anticipated loads is a common design task with power-transmission equipment. Another deals with finding a cumulative component reliability that exceeds the ...

Design refinements boost performance of self-aligning ball bushing while maintaining their error-correcting nature.
