Bearing Grease: Lithium vs. Synthetic – A 2026 Technical Comparison
Key Takeaways Lithium Grease (Standard/Complex): The industrial workhorse. Ideal for General Purpose (GP) applications such as standard electric motors and conveyors. It is optimized for stable environments where operating temperatures remain below 120°C. Synthetic Grease: A…
Proper Bearing Storage Guide: Preventing Failure Before Installation
Did you know that 15% of premature bearing failures are caused by poor storage conditions before the bearing is even unboxed? Many maintenance teams treat bearings like simple chunks of steel. In reality, a bearing is…
The Ultimate Guide to Bearing Installation and Startup in Cold Weather
When temperatures drop to 0°C or plummet below -20°C, industrial machinery faces a severe tribological test. Cold weather causes metal contraction, drastically increases grease viscosity, and embrittles sealing materials. These factors not only complicate bearing installation…
Why Road Roller Bearings Fail: A Case Study of EAE4 vs. MB Cages
Imagine having your heavy equipment break down just one week after a full maintenance cycle. For a construction team, road roller bearing failure isn’t just about the replacement cost of a single part; it represents thousands of dollars in…
Spherical Roller Bearing Suffixes Decoder, Guide & Cross-Reference (2026 Updated)
Introduction: More Than Just “Heavy Duty” A Spherical Roller Bearing (e.g., 22216) may share identical dimensions on the outside, but differ drastically in performance on the inside based on its Suffixes (CC, CA, E, MB). Choosing the wrong internal design, cage material,…
Insulated Bearings Data Sheet 2026: Specification Guide for DGBB & Cylindrical Roller Series (VL0241/VL2071)
Do your motor bearings fail prematurely due to electrical erosion? Using Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) improves efficiency but introduces shaft voltages and stray currents. These currents arc through standard bearings, causing micro-pitting, fluting, and eventual catastrophic…
TFL Bearing Technical Parameters Guide: 2026 Ultimate Handbook
Sourcing bearings for your machinery isn’t just about matching a part number on a box; it’s about engineering reliability into your production line. Whether you are sourcing for high-speed electric motors, heavy-duty agricultural machinery, or precision…
In order for medical facilities to deliver the most accurate and efficient care possible, engineers who design diagnostic and laboratory equipment need to take every detail into account.

How do ball and roller bearings work? Types and durability calculation. DIN ISO 281
Bearings are used to reduce the friction between two objects that are in a linear or circular motion against each other. The first intuition came from Leonardo Da Vinci in his studies regarding friction. But the…
Let you quickly understand thrust bearings from 4 aspects
Thrust ball bearings are classified into those with flat seats or aligning seats depending on the shape of the outer ring seat (housing washer). They can sustain axial loads but no radial loads. For Single-Direction Thrust…
How to prolong the service life of slewing ring bearings
The slewing ring includes an inner ring and an outer ring, one of which usually contains a gear. Together with the connecting holes on the two rings, they achieve optimized power transmission through simple and quick…
