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.
Spherical Plain Bearings & Their Features
Spherical Plain Bearings – or SPBs, spherical plane bearings or ball bushings – are used when alignment between a shaft and housing have to accommodate movement, or where rotating tilting movements are required. So, they are found in applications that require rotation or oscillation.
