Bearing Cage Design Reduces Moving Mass

January 29, 2009 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

A new line of solid brass bearing cages features less mass, reducing the rolling bearings’ energy absorption and preventing sliding friction. In bearings that operate at high speeds, the force created by the rolling elements’ moving mass causes a significant additional internal load. Especially in cylindrical roller bearings with relatively heavy solid brass cages, the […]

Back Relief Rests on Precision Bearings

January 15, 2009 By Editor Leave a Comment

Back pain effects about 80% of the population.  Sometimes, the cause is pressure exerted on nerves branching out from the spinal column into the lower or upper extremities.  For pain caused by compressive injury of the spine, one approach to relief that is proving successful is spinal decompression. Axiom’s spinal decompression system, the DRX9000™. Axiom […]
