LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The global anti-friction bearing market is projected to grow to USD 48.48 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of more than 4% over the forecast period, according to Technavio’s latest ...

Bearings, by design, are energy-saving devices. They limit friction between moving parts in countless machines and, over hundreds of years, have continually evolved toward greater efficiency and ...

SKF in Sweden has developed a new family of bearings that reportedly reduces friction and energy consumption by at least 30%, compared to standard ISO products. SKF in Sweden has developed a new ...

Torque required to put a bearing into motion from rest is usually higher than that required to keep it running once it starts. Starting friction, therefore, has an important influence on the power ...

Although replaced in recent years by roller bearings, friction bearings (also called solid bearings or plain bearings) were a railroad standard for many years. Friction bearings were blocks of metal, ...

The mechanical properties of natural joints are considered unrivalled. Cartilage is coated with a special polymer layer allowing joints to move virtually friction-free, even under high pressure. Using ...

To improve both the durability and reliability of the main bearing, and also to reduce friction, a technique was developed to measure transient sliding friction of main bearings in a firing engine.

While the ball bearing might be among Leonardo Da Vinci's less celebrated inventions, it's arguably one of his most important. Though it was initially designed as part of his failed helicopter ...
