Metal components in bearings come in contact with other metal or containments, so the hardening process during manufacturing is a vital to ensuring less wear and a longer service life. Hardening also provides the optimal physical characteristics for the bearing’s use.
Getting Technical about Windshield Wiper Bushings
Windshield wipers are the first line of defense when it comes to driver safety. Responsible for keeping debris, snow and rain from blocking the driver’s vision, wipers have a lot of responsibility.
CCTY Completes 12,000 Sq m Forging Factory
CCTY has expanded its forging capabilities with a new factory. In addition to more space for forging, the facility has onsite turning and heat treatment. Completed in August 2018, the nearly 12,000 Sq m facility was constructed directly in front of the old building expanding the total work area to 22,000 Sq m. Both buildings, …
Belt Tensioners & Bushings
The accessory belt tensioner powers a car’s air conditioning, water pump, alternator and power steering by maintaining tautness of the engine serpentine belt. A tensioner is available as one of three designs:
Planetary Gear Bearings: RN & RNN Series
Planetary gears require immense power to move heavy equipment while operating within a compact design. Full complement cylindrical roller bearings need only a small amount of radial space and provide high load capacity.
Angular Contact Ball Bearings Thrive in Off-road Applications
Constant motion and rough environmental conditions for off-road vehicles require that higher operating temperatures do not impact performance. This is why choosing the correct bearings for motion control is critical in UTV and side-by-side applications.
The Differences in Construction Bushings
Heavy trucks in construction must function in the harshest environments. This machinery depends on mobility and movement, two factors that require bearings. The more prominent bearings found in the heavy-truck industry include bushings and spherical plain bearings.
Spherical Plain Bearings & Hydraulic Cylinders
Hydraulic Cylinder Bearings
SPBs or spherical plain bearings are key components in hydraulic cylinders as they are designed to take very heavy loads and impact. Hydraulic cylinders give power to the moving accessories on construction equipment, so having a strong and reliable hydraulic cylinder bearings maintains up time and equipment productivity.
3 Things Heavy-Truck OEMs Look for in Bearing Manufacturers
Whether it is to raise a boom or carry heavy loads, earth moving trucks rely on bearings. Choosing the right bearing means:
A New U-joint (Video)
Universal joints have remained virtually unchanged for a century. The new approach from CCTY simplifies the design by replacing many central components with one – a square ball.
