At light loads an externally pressurized sleeve bearing tends to be stiffest, followed by rolling-element bearings and self-acting sleeve bearings. As loads increase, the rolling-element bearing ...

Operating most efficiently is a machine's first step to maintaining productivity. Bearings permit smooth low-friction rotary or linear movement between two surfaces. Bearings employ either a sliding ...

Even if a CNC machining center is equipped with spindle bearings that are optimized for a duty cycle at the time of purchase, there is no guarantee the bearings will be optimized for future duty ...

How we listen and respond to customer feedback can sometimes result in the development of important new products or subtle variants of existing products which help to improve manufacturing processes.

An automated system enclosed in a safety cage analyzes locomotive bearing condition, improving repeatability over manual methods. Custom calipers measure inner/outer diameters, and a laser ...

L. F. Parks began in 1887 to make woodworking machinery. By 1900 he was operating as "Parks Ball Bearing Machine Co." In 1927 the name changed again to Parks ...
