A shaft bearing is a common mechanical component, often placed within assemblies to bear applied loads while facilitating the rotational or sliding movement between parts. With their general, yet important, role, shaft bearings commonly find use in a wide variety of applications ranging from industrial machinery to aerospace vehicles. To accommodate a diverse set of industries and needs, shaft bearings come in various types and designs, each varying in its qualities and characteristics. Read more >>

In general, bearings are specialized components that assist an object’s rotation. Typically supporting the shaft that rotates inside machinery, bearings are found in automobiles, aircraft, electric generators, and more. As they find countless uses, bearings are available in varying types, one of which is called a rolling bearing. Read more >>

When it comes to any vehicle including an aircraft, securing hardware is a primary task that needs to be done for safety. Loose hardware wiring can be a cause of tragic accidents and threaten many lives. As a result, it is crucial to secure the aircraft’s bolts and fasteners with safety wires to prevent accidents. Furthermore, one should always check such assemblies often to confirm whether they are tight and ready before take-off. Read more >>

Bearings are specialized mechanical elements that assist objects’ rotation while simultaneously reducing friction between moving parts. Thin section bearings are a type of standard bearing, but differentiate themselves in their subtle cross sections, making them highly sensitive to shaft and housing tolerances. As such, using them in assemblies should be done with care, and finding the proper bearing for your applications is paramount. Read more >>

Bearings are components that are common to countless assemblies, often being used to facilitate and constrain motion while reducing friction between moving parts. Axle and wheel bearings in particular are two components that are common to automobiles and similar vehicles, allowing for wheels to turn with freedom while ensuring that the weight of the vehicle is supported and that assemblies have proper alignment. As both bearings are crucial for the standard functionality of wheels, it is important that one amply understands their functionality and maintenance. Read more >>
