Thrust bearings support axial loads on rotating shafts. Designs range from simple, coin-sized flat washers in household appliances to sophisticated assemblies several feet in diameter for ...

Learn how root cause analysis and integrated data prevent hydropower bearing failures, reduce costly downtime, and improve ...

In a sense, thrust bearings are 90° angular-contact bearings. They support pure thrust loads at moderate speeds, but for practical purposes, their radial load capacity is nil. Because they cannot ...

These days, it’s common among us hackers to load a stepper motor with forces in-line with their shaft–especially when we couple them to leadscrews or worm gears. Unfortunately, steppers aren’t really ...

We've carefully disassembled this Garrett TP-38 turbo, making sure to clean all the parts before reassembly. Turbocharger journal bearings are made from a soft material, the surfaces are the first to ...

Does anyone out there know of a source of proper (not too expensive) F8-16M (8 – 16 x 5mm) ball thrust bearings? Does anyone out there know of a source of proper (not too expensive) F8-16M (8 – 16 x ...
