A breakdown of sought-after bearing types for linear and rotary motion applications, including crossed roller, flexible ball and four-point contact ball bearings. In humanoid robot design, bushings ...

Editor's note: An updated version of this information can be found here. Bearings are used to help reduce friction. Metal-upon-metal contact produces large amounts of friction. The friction adds to ...

The challenge that machine tool builders face when designing spindles for milling machines and lathes is selecting bearings with the optimal balance of speed, load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and ...

Whilst the basic design of a needle roller bearing hasn’t changed a great deal in the last 60 years, continuous developments have resulted in new cage designs that provide five times the service life ...
