We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Rolling Bearings",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Cages have bearing on performance and reliability from
Victrex USA, which we summarised at the time by saying "Polymer is chosen for bearing cages because of its combination of strength and flexibility, high operating temperatures, high chemical and wear resistance and ease of processing".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release A bearing on green design from
NSK UK: "Rolling bearings provide the key to energy conservation and preservation of natural resources through improved machine life, says Kevin Delehanty".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Schaeffler (UK)
concerning its Schaeffler's INA and FAG bearings
- take a look at Choosing the right bearing coating
which says: "Dr Steve Lacey, Schaeffler UK Engineering Manager, discusses the importance of selecting the right coating or corrosion-resistant material for rolling bearings operating in harsh environments".
Take a look also at the news release from Schaeffler (UK), Beware bogus bearings,
as well as Bearing contract signed for airliner from Schaeffler (UK),
and Bearing steel offers corrosion resistance from Schaeffler (UK).
