Mechanical wear — How bearings fail Part 1 of 6

★ By Leslie Langnau 4 Comments

Today, bearing manufacturers can reliably predict the operating life of bearings, which makes it easier to specify the right bearing for an application. Bearings do fail, if for no other reason than components do not operate forever. A number of causes contribute to failure, including material fatigue; operating with a heavier loading than specified; inadequate or […]

Kinetic Gear Sculpture Illustrates Mechanical Motion

★ By Leslie Langnau Leave a Comment

Designed primarily to showcase mechanical motion during a trade show, this new kinetic gear sculpture from SDP/SI illustrates mechanical motion principles. It was designed and arranged by Andrea Davide, a New York-based artist who specializes in creating unique metal sculptures. Check out the video; this is a good way to show mechanical motion principles, whether […]
