Things can get hot when we move into bakery technology. This is a special challenge for bearings. It takes special bearings and bearing materials to handle the high ambient temperatures. Bearings are often used in applications where temperatures exceed 200°C. There are a wide range of applications in ovens and their immediate vicinity in the […]
Normally, plain bearings are intended for installation in relatively thick-walled designs. The plain bearing is pressed into a hole of recommended tolerance, where it remains. Press-fit can be difficult if the components have thin walls. But beyond fixing in place, there are other pitfalls which we will examine more closely here. Then I will give […]
The concern is often optimisation of component or system service life. In the packaging and beverage industries, machines operate at especially high frequencies, and component service life plays an important role. But it can be just as important to extend the product service life or life cycle. Or protect the product from damage. There are […]
I would say that they are not. Metallic plain bearings with relatively thick walls (conforming to DIN 1850, for instance) are used in many heavy-duty applications in agricultural engineering and construction machinery. Typical bearings are steel bushings and plain bearings made of non-ferrous metals (bronze = copper + tin, brass = copper + zinc), but […]
Cables are used in many areas. Some cables must meet very special requirements or withstand certain external factors. Consider cables that are used under water. What problems arise for cables used in underwater applications? What solution approaches are there? Longitudinal and transverse waterproofness There are a number of things that cables that are used under […]
