‘Rolling Bearing’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Split roller bearings used on colliery conveyors from Revolvo, which we summarised at the time by saying "SRB Split Roller Bearings from Revolvo are being used at the Hatfield Colliery near Doncaster. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release SKF units improve continuous-cast milling from SKF UK: "Two SKF solutions have been developed to deliver benefits to continuous casting mills. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from SKF UK - take a look at SKF systems boost uptime of Isis neutron choppers which says: "SKF rolling bearings and condition monitoring systems are maximising the uptime of precision devices used in the Isis neutron and muon source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.".

Take a look also at the news release from Sick Stegmann, SICK introduces single- and multi-turn encoders, as well as Micromech offers complete linear motion solution from Micromech, and Barden provides super-precision bearings from Barden Corporation.
