The SKF Generalized Bearing Life Model is (GBLM) an innovative new bearing rating life model that is designed to help engineers calculate bearing rating life in a more realistic manner. The new model is a major step forward for the industry and will play an important role in enabling OEMs and end users to better match bearings and applications, resulting in improved machine life and reduced operating costs.
If there are two things
that are in tight supply in
the industry, it's time and
talent. Manufacturers are always
pressured to do more faster,
and the industry is producing
fewer experts to help them do it,
so the industry's had to get crafty
and find what time-cutting procedures
they can.
In today's highly competitive world,
the better someone understands the
advantages and benefits of direct drive
technology, then the more they will
have an advantage in machine building,
giving them an edge over their
competition.
Design engineers across industries rely on pillow block bearings for a variety of tough and unconventional applications. Having access to data that backs housing strength performance claims is an integral part of choosing the right bearing to keep operations running optimally. What design considerations must be made when the application demands a pillow block installation on a non-horizontal
orientation? What happens when bearing load is not applied through the base of the unit? Timken answers these questions with physical testing, advanced modeling and real-world experience to facilitate the selection of pillow block bearings for specific applications.
