LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The global anti-friction bearing market is projected to grow to USD 48.48 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of more than 4% over the forecast period, according to Technavio’s latest ...

Bearings, by design, are energy-saving devices. They limit friction between moving parts in countless machines and, over hundreds of years, have continually evolved toward greater efficiency and ...

Torque required to put a bearing into motion from rest is usually higher than that required to keep it running once it starts. Starting friction, therefore, has an important influence on the power ...

SKF in Sweden has developed a new family of bearings that reportedly reduces friction and energy consumption by at least 30%, compared to standard ISO products. SKF in Sweden has developed a new ...

The mechanical properties of natural joints are considered unrivalled. Cartilage is coated with a special polymer layer allowing joints to move virtually friction-free, even under high pressure. Using ...

NSK says it has developed new low friction Hub Unit Bearings (HUBs) which are ideal for electric vehicles, hybrids, and new energy vehicles. The company claims the new bearings maintain the high ...

To improve both the durability and reliability of the main bearing, and also to reduce friction, a technique was developed to measure transient sliding friction of main bearings in a firing engine.

Texas A&M University's school of engineering has developed a new high-temperature bearing that will allow aircraft engines to run more efficiently. The university collaborated with NASA's Glenn ...
