Plastic polymers are becoming more common across a broad range of industries. Due to their high performance and cost effectiveness, they are found in uses ranging from coatings on kitchen cookware to insulating wiring for space shuttle computers.
7 Factors when Selecting Bearing Grease (Infographic)
What kind of grease should I use with this bearing?
How Proper Lubrication Impacts Agricultural Equipment
Tractors and combines, along with hay balers and harvesters, have many moving parts that are made possible with bearings and ball joints. To maintain these heavy-duty machines under optimal performance conditions, special attention to bearing lubrication is necessary.
Advancements in Lubrication
Science Breakthrough
Lubrication is what keeps a bearing in motion over time. It’s a vital element when it comes to the life of a bearing as it works to lower friction while keeping the bearing from overheating. When friction is low, it results in less energy – and in the case of piston assembly friction reduction in internal combustion engines, less gas and oil.
Why is PTFE better than grease for bushing lubricants?
A bushing’s load and dynamic speed condition create heat through high surface interaction that generates friction. Heat, if not properly adjusted, will cause a bearing to fail.
Ultra-Durable, Self-Regenerating Lubrication Discovered
Scientific Breakthrough
Lubrication is a key element in a bearing’s performance and life. It aids in preventing wear and lowering friction, along with protection from extreme temperatures, corrosion and oxidation. Depending on individual applications, the lubricant can be oil, grease or next generation of film based technologies.
