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.
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.
Double Row Angular Contact Bearing for Wheel Hubs & Knuckles
Double row angular contact wheel bearings have two split inner rings, a solid outer ring and integral seals. The CCTY Bearing Company wheel bearing is made specifically for off-road vehicles. Due to the working environment, they must have tight seals designed to prevent ingress of containments, such as mud, dirt and dust, while maintaining proper torque values.
Square Ball Universal Joint™ White Paper Released
The novelty of a square ball can raise a few eyebrows. When it smoothly oscillates in a universal joint, mechanical engineers want more details.
