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 […]
Linear bearings
New Thomson Selection Guide Now Available
Metric Super Ball Bushing bearings are precision bearings with a coefficient of friction as low as 0.001 that allows users to employ smaller and less expensive motors, belts, gears and ball screws when replacing high friction, plain bearings. Stainless Steel MultiTrac Ball Bushing bearings are built to thrive in harsh environments with temperatures up to […]
Custom Linear Motion Design Speeds Assembly
ShopBot, a leading manufacturer of CNC routing machines, selected a Bishop-Wisecarver linear motion device for the PowerStick feature of its second generation “Buddy.” For years, ShopBot has used the DualVee® based products because of their ability to operate in environments that are routinely covered in wood chips and sawdust. The ShopBot Buddy with PowerStick is […]
Back Relief Rests on Precision Bearings
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 […]
Pacific Bearing Announces New Catalog
The 2007 Pacific Bearing Catalog has several new innovative products, six of which were recently launched at the Hannover Fair trade show in Hannover, Germany. The catalog layout makes searching for products simple. Each product family is color- coded and coinciding color tabs indicate their space in the catalog. The original Simplicity bearings are in […]
