Emerson Bearing, a Boston, MA-based bearing company catering to niche markets nationwide and the sister company of Action Bearing which serves the New England market, recently announced the availability of a complimentary eBook for machine tool applications.
Emerson Bearing’s latest free resource entitled, “Bearing Solutions for Machine Tool Applications” covers types of bearings used in this industry, common applications, and how to maintain proper care and lubrication.
Today’s machine tools rely on various specialized components to operate smoothly and efficiently while holding tight tolerances. Specific machine tool bearing applications include machining centers, automatic screw machines, grinding machines, high speed spindles, rotary tables, water jet machines, and more.
Machine tool bearings are designed with distinct geometries, features, and materials that make them suitable for specific machining purposes. Anticipated load pressure, temperature fluctuations, exposure to chemicals, and other factors influence the type of bearing best suited for a particular application. Ball and roller bearings are among the most versatile bearing types and are used in everything from turbine engines to medical equipment.
According to Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing and Action Bearing, "This comprehensive guide will help to provide a better understanding of the various bearing types and how each will respond to specific operating conditions. It also covers how to maximize the life and performance of your machine tool and its components with proper maintenance, regular inspection and lubrication.”
