Square rail, which is typically the more expensive option, has a higher load capacity and tighter accuracy. Round rail offers distinct cost and reliability advantages for certain applications, but maximising those advantages depends on specifying the right bearing to minimise friction in each application. Designers must often choose between plain bearings, often called b...
⦿ Fretting corrosion: A special wear process that occurs at the contact area between raceways and balls under load or impact and in the presence of repeated relative surface motion load, resulting in lubricant failed (as shown below). ⦿ Possible causes of fretting corrosion: - It is difficult to prevent the rotor's axial and rotary motion which results in the bearing c...

1) Low contact ratio of gear: noise is likely to cause during transmission when contact ratio of gear is low. Core parts in the gear parameters are correlated to gear design. 2) Accuracy of gear: accuracy of gear and noise level are highly associated with each other. The higher the gear precision is, the denser the contact area marks will be. If contact marks are visibl...

While we often talk about the importance of keeping contamination out of linear motion components such as linear guides and screws, when these systems are used in a cleanroom, the goal is just the opposite — to keep these components from introducing contamination into the environment. What exactly is a cleanroom? According to ISO 14644-1:2015, “Cleanrooms and associate...
Carbonitriding is a metallurgical enhancement technique that used to increase the surface hardness of a metal. During the process, atoms of carbon and nitrogen diffuse into the metal through interstices between lattices, creating barriers to slip, and eventually increase the hardness near the surface. This kind of heat treatment is commonly used in bearing industry to in...
