Chicken Run cameras turn on INA Bearings
Chicken Run, the highly successful film from Aardman Animation (famous for Wallace and Gromit), was made with the help of specially designed camera mounts incorporating INA bearings.
Ina website contains massive bearing databank
Access to data on most INA products is now freely available via a completely revised website at www.ina.com, which is in both English and German.
These ready-to-fit units are also very robust, and the wide range of sealing options and anti-corrosion coatings enable the bearings to operate reliably even in harsh environments.
A vast range of sizes is offered by INA to suit shaft sizes from 12 to 120mm, depending on the style selected.
Furthermore, the shaft clamping methods (either grubs screw or eccentric collar) allow the bearings to be used on unmachined drawn shafts, and the spherical inserts and housings accommodate static angular shaft misalignment.
These measures to ease installation help to minimise the total cost of the bearing arrangement.
Within the range of radial insert ball bearings and housed bearing units INA offers traditional plummer block and flanged housing units with cast iron housings, cast iron take-up housings and sheet steel housings.
Radial insert ball bearings are available in metric and imperial sizes with spherical or cylindrical outer surfaces.
Versions with various rubber interliners can also be specified to help accommodate misalignment and absorb vibrations, while other units are designed specifically as complete roller chain idler sprocket and idler pulley units.
For operation in environments harsher than usual, combination units are available with anticorrosion coatings and special bearings for high- and low-temperature applications.
Technical details for all of these products are contained in Catalogue 520 from INA (this supersedes the previous Catalogue 517).
In addition to the product data, this publication also contains background material relating to the basic principles of rolling bearing technology and information to allow the engineer to design the bearing arrangement and lubrication system.
To complement the catalogue, INA offers a CD-ROM medias professional, which contains software routines for basic calculations of bearing life and lubrication intervals, as well as electronic drawing files that can be exported for use in CAD packages. Request a free brochure from Schaeffler (UK) ...
