NTN applies AI and machine learning to accelerate bearing design, cut analysis time and reduce engineering workload.

Journal bearing design is complex. It involves optimizing clearances, bearing length, minimum film lubricant, viscosity, flow rate, and inlet slots. Design equations are available, but their solution ...

Adding new features and capabilities to bearings improves productivity and lowers costs. Bearings have long been used to reduce friction, support loads, locate shafts, and reinforce system rigidity.

Significant operating and economic benefits can be realized by replacing a poorly functioning or damaged oil-lubricated turbine guide bearing with a water-lubricated design (Figure 1), as part of a ...

NORD offers several variations of the VL heavy duty spread bearing designs, all which have specific features and advantages based on the specific mixing and agitating application requirements. The ...
