read moreRolling element bearings have been widely used in rotating equipment. They are designed to carry load and provide constrained motion between two or more parts. A rolling element bearing consists of outer race, rolling elements (balls, cylindrical roller, etc), inner race, and a cage to…
read moreThe main functions of a rolling bearing are to carry load and provide near frictionless environment to support and guide a rotating shaft. Rolling bearings have four components: outer race, rolling elements, inner race, and a cage to support and guide the rolling elements. The…
read moreMachinery in industrial environments typically generate a lot of noise. Other than being very loud, these noise emissions can sometimes provide clues to the condition of a particular machine. Measuring ultrasonics can be useful in detecting: • Steam and air leaks • Lubrication issues •…
read moreRolling element bearings are used in all sorts of rotating applications. Unfortunately, because of poor machine setup and maintenance, fewer than 10% of bearings reach their intended design life; this is because even marginal increases above the maximum allowable load on a bearing can dramatically…

The reason for balancing rotating equipment is because most materials and manufacturing processes are inherently flawed to some degree. It is extremely difficult to achieve a perfectly balanced product…
