In case you missed them, following are three recent blog postings by our popular PTE bearings blogger - Norm Parker. We also felt that, should you not be a blog follower, this would be a good way to introduce you to Norm's bearings wisdom. Parker is currently the global senior specialist/roller bearings at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA).
Three electric motor repair facilities share best practices for utilizing copper in motor repair, and recommending new
motors to replace older, less-efficient motors
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,

A Chicago-area bakery was replacing
the tray support bearings in its ovens
on a reactionary basis. Their weekly
inspection cycle was resulting in two
mechanics spending an average of 20
labor hours per week to replace failed
bearings. The premature bearing failures
were caused by a combination of
the high heat and humidity in the ovens,
resulting in lubrication failure and
contamination. When BDI was asked
to recommend a solution, the bakery
was averaging one month of bearing
life in this application.
