Rolling 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 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…
