Plain Bearings
Electrically or alternatively powered vehicles are very quiet and cause hardly any disturbing engine noise. Increasing insulation of the interior, which a few years ago was only found in the premium segment, is now finding its way into almost every vehicle class. This increased quality awareness demands a lot from designers and engineers when designing […]
Weight is constantly what people are worried about. How can I eliminate unnecessary weight and reduce the drive forces I need? Or, simply, how can I reduce my system’s weight? The undertaking is often not easy and requires compromises or the use of expensive special materials or technologies. But that is not always necessary. Dancer […]
In developing PRT-04, we paid special attention to maintaining weight capacity despite slimming. That is why we have analysed and measured the degree to which the PRT-01’s load capacity is actually exhausted in realistic applications. It turns out that the Version 01 slewing ring ball bearings are rarely used to their full load capacity and that the new PRT-04 only slightly reduces load capacity, so it is entirely sufficient for most applications.
The material for rolling bearing ball bearing balls varies widely and is always primarily focused on the ring materials. This ensures that the interplay of cage, inner ring, and outer ring in the system is harmonised. This is especially important when the application involves heating or cooling the bearings. It is important that ball bearing […]
Die Diskussion über die weltweit durch Kraftfahrzeuge erzeugte CO2-Emission stellt eine Herausforderung für jeden Entwickler in der Automobilindustrie dar. Neben der Optimierung des Motors, des Antriebstrangs und weiteren Komponenten spielt die Reduzierung von Gewicht eine wichtige Rolle, um den Schadstoffausstoß zu minimieren. Bei Verbrennungsmotoren, wie auch in der Elektromobilität, hat die Wahl der eingesetzten Materialien […]
