‘Polymer Bearing’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Multi-function electromagnetic tooth clutches from
Techdrives, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electromagnetic tooth clutches manufactured by Monninghoff feature precision-machined teeth that can be varied to achieve different performance and functions. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Schaeffler offers rolling-bearing selection tips from
Schaeffler: "Schaeffler has provided tips and guidance for engineers on how to select the most appropriate rolling bearings for their application requirements.".
In March 2010, we covered the news from SKF
- take a look at SKF announces 2010 training-course schedule
which says: "SKF is running courses to help engineers improve their skills, learn about new technologies and discover techniques for increasing machine and plant efficiency, reliability and performance.".
Take a look also at the news release from Baldor, Baldor unveils sealing system and bearing at Total,
as well as Jet Edge's 5 x 5ft waterjet cuts most materials from Jet Edge,
and New event explains polymer production efficiency from Triton Technology .
