An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Schaeffler launches enhanced ball roller range from Schaeffler (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "The Schaeffler Group has launched a complete family of ball roller bearings, which offers reduced friction and allows bearing mass and width to be decreased by 20 per cent. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Servo controllers synchronise high-speed switching from Rotalink: "When a challenging project for a large illuminated sign for a building required complex and high-speed synchronised switching, Focus International requested Red Drive servo controllers from Rotalink. ".

In June 2009, we covered the news from Trelleborg Sealing Solutions UK - take a look at Trelleborg launches mechanical face seals which says: "Trelleborg Sealing Solutions has introduced its mechanical face seals for rotating applications in demanding environments to withstand severe wear and prevent ingress of abrasive external media. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Schaeffler (UK), Schaeffler offers rolling-bearing services, as well as FK7 offers gearbox management service from FK7, and Filtramag system filters lubrication oil at Drax from Magnetic Products.
