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 ...
Bearings define speed, load-carrying capacity, precision, and stiffness, and they contribute to the spindle operating temperature, vibration, and noise during operation. It wasn’t so long ago that a ...
Towering megawatt wind turbines need strong, large bearings to support their long blades as they rotate. To meet that growing need, engineers at The Timken Co., North Canton, Ohio, have designed ...
