Constructing buildings and bridges in earthquake-prone regions usually necessitates the use of damping techniques. While solutions such as mass spring damping or hydraulic systems provide the traditional way of absorbing dynamic compressive and tensile forces, an alternative is to use vibration dampers featuring high-load ball screws. The use of ball screws saves space and permits […]

In dental air turbines, miniature rolling bearings must overcome a very demanding set of challenges. As well as rotating at speeds of up to 500,000 rpm, these bearings must provide extremely quiet operation and meet rigorous hygiene requirements. NSK offers precision miniature bearings made from stainless steel especially for this application. Driven pneumatically by a […]

When linear guides in the food and packaging industry fail to last for their expected service life, it can make sense to use solutions equipped with integrated lubrication units. These units release lubricant continuously over a long period of time. By switching to this type of linear system in its dough slicing machines, a large […]
Read MoreA leading UK bakery was experiencing regular, unexpected stoppages due to the premature failure of pillow-block ball-bearing mounted units fitted to the recirculation fan of a high-temperature oven. However, switching to NSK plummer blocks with high-capacity spherical roller bearings and labyrinth seals increased service life by a factor of 4.5, delivering annual cost savings of […]
