Bearing-related problems are among the most common causes of motor failures. Solving those problems will reduce motor failures. Did you know bearing-related problems cause more than half of all motor ...

Learn how root cause analysis and integrated data prevent hydropower bearing failures, reduce costly downtime, and improve ...

If you see air-moving equipment, chances are oil-film bearings lie at the heart of centrifugal and axial fans. Serious damage can result to the entire unit should these bearings fail. Therefore, it’s ...

Reliability and maintenance engineers are often given the task of improving the reliability of bearing arrangements in a variety of applications. Lubrication is a key area to explore for improvement ...

Encouraging results from recent up-tower testing at a wind farm in Oregon indicate that the conductive-microfiber bearing protection ring is preventing generator bearing damage. Designed by the ...

Nuclear power plants depend on electric motor-driven pumps to circulate coolant through a closed system of pipes to help dissipate excess heat. These machines, reactor coolant pumps (RCPs), must be ...

The wheels of industry turn on bearings, so why do the wheels often vibrate, clatter, squeak, drag, and overheat? Bearings can fail for a lot of reasons. Most failures (as shown in Figure 1) are ...
