We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Rolling Element",
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 Pillow block bearings make the cut from
Micromech, which we summarised at the time by saying "Self-aligning bearing solves critical misalignment issue in lawnmower design".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Bushings and bearings handle high loads from
Ondrives/Rino Industries: "Each Super Smart Ball BushingT bearing uses precision ground balls manufactured to the highest quality standards for roundness and sphericity".
In July 2007, we covered the news from IFM Electronic
concerning its efector octavis bearing condition monitor
- take a look at Equipment monitors bearing condition
which says: "The efector octavis from IFM electronic recognises, displays and signals bearing condition".
Take a look also at the news release from IFM Electronic, Bearing monitor keeps track of four locations,
as well as Synthetic grease improves wear resistance from Greeff,
and Synthetic grease lubricates heavy-duty bearings from Shell Lubricants.
