• Material Handling: Bearings including mast guide, cam follower, double row, and leaf chain types are key components in forklifts, conveyor systems, and heavy cranes.

• Metal Processing & Packaging/Food Processing: Grooved, roller, slewing ring, crossed roller, and four-point contact bearings enhance operations in wire forming, recycling, filling plants, and more.

• Power Generation & Transportation: From turbines and generators to automotive and rail components, ball, blade, radial, and pillow block bearings play a vital role.

Our Industrial Applications of Bearings are engineered to exceed performance expectations in every one of these areas.

Factors Influencing Bearing Selection

Selecting the right bearing is critical for optimal performance. Key factors include:

• Rotational Speed: Roller bearings excel in low-speed applications, whereas ball bearings are preferred for high-RPM operations.

• Lubrication Needs: Depending on speed and load, the choice between oil baths, grease, or oil misting is crucial.

• Bearing Rigidity and Runout: Applications with minimal tolerance for runout often rely on ball bearings for precision.

• Load Capacity: Heavy-load environments favor roller bearings, while lighter loads are efficiently managed by ball bearings.

These considerations ensure that our Industrial Applications of Bearings deliver the ideal balance of performance and durability.
