Wind turbines are fitted with multiple bearings that each wear differently. Today, larger stresses in larger turbines are testing conventional bearing designs, particularly in mainshafts. Photo ...

Assisting in heat dissipation out of the bearing elements. Grease lubrication is the method most commonly used on small- and medium-size electric motors in the range of 1 to 500 hp for horizontal ...

If you see air-moving equipment, chances are oil-film bearings lie at the heart of centrifugal and axial fans. Serious damage can result to the entire unit should these bearings fail. Therefore, it’s ...

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 ...
