Bearings in High Vibration Machinery for Reliable Performance | Mechanical Power Inc.
Bearings in high-vibration machinery need durability, precision fits, and advanced lubrication systems.| Mechanical Power Inc.
Cam followers are critical components in modern automation systems. These specialized rolling elements convert rotary motion into smooth linear or oscillating movement, enabling precision control across a wide variety of automated equipment. As factories and industrial systems become more automated and demand higher throughput, cam followers must perform with greater reliability, minimal maintenance, and superior […] The post The Role of Cam Follower Bearings in Modern Automation Systems ...| IBT Industrial Solutions

Corrosive environments are some of the harshest operating conditions for industrial equipment. Whether it’s constant washdowns in a car wash, heavy washdowns in meat processing facilities, or chemical vapors in wastewater plants, these settings rapidly degrade standard bearing components. Without the right protection, the result is frequent bearing failure, costly downtime, and safety risks. Fortunately, […] The post Taking on Corrosive Environments: Sealed Bearings Built for Water, Chemi...| IBT Industrial Solutions

In the food and beverage industry, equipment reliability, hygiene, and safety are paramount. Bearing housings, which support and protect bearings in machinery, must withstand frequent washdowns, exposure to aggressive cleaning agents, and strict sanitation requirements. Two leading choices for hygienic environments are thermoplastic and stainless-steel bearing housings. Each has its own strengths, and choosing the […] The post Bearing Housings: Thermoplastics vs. Stainless Steel in the Fo...| IBT Industrial Solutions

Well, the cheap-o linear bearings work! However, they are quite noisy (not unexpected). Unfortunately, I have to print a new set of parts that incorporate the LM8UU holder design to get them to work well with the machine.| Cyrozap's Tech Projects
Today, I bought some linear bearings (against Spacexula's recommendation). I got the 12 el-cheapo LM8UU bearings on ebay for $18 because I figured they might work better than brass bushings. If they don't, $18 isn't a huge loss. I heard there are some small issues with the cheap bearings, but I think I'll be fine. While I wait for the bearings to arrive, I will be cutting the threaded rods down to size and I'll begin assembling the machine.| Cyrozap's Tech Projects
