The bearings inside an engine are critical for taking the massive forces that actually drive a car forward. The crankshaft turns the reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotational motion that ...

Dry, unlubricated insert bearings excel in jobs where it's tough to maintain oil and grease lubrication. Applications for insert bearings include sliding and rotating rods in shock absorbers, air ...

The BBXINS-... Series of 35 ball-bearing inserts feature dual seals with an antirotation device. The BBXINS-... Series of 35 ball-bearing inserts feature dual seals with an antirotation device. These ...

Measuring bearing clearances is one of those steps that all good engine builders take to establish a solid and reliable rotating assembly foundation. It can be tedious trying different bearings to put ...

The primary job of an engine bearing is to establish a low-friction interface for a rotating shaft. Most bearings today are half-round assemblies used around crankshafts, for example. While you might ...

The latest generation of radial insert ball bearing and housing units from Schaeffler is engineered for easy mounting and optimum durability in some of the toughest applications and harsh environments ...

As cars change over the years, so do the skillsets of mechanics who work on them (just try finding someone who can rebuild a carb or an old generator). Perhaps one of the most fascinating skills ...

Significant operating and economic benefits can be realized by replacing a poorly functioning or damaged oil-lubricated turbine guide bearing with a water-lubricated design (Figure 1), as part of a ...

Just like changing a flat tire, start by cracking loose your lug nuts while the tire is still on the ground. Once loose, slide a jack under the axle and raise the tire off the ground. Continue ...
