  2. SKF - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKF

    The startup and growth of SKF depends not only on technical inventions but also on industrial and corporate management strategies and power. Axel Carlander was a co-founder of SKF as a co-owner and member of the board of Gamlestadens Fabriker AB, which corporate policy provided conditions for experimenting with the new bearing models and the startup of SKF, and also he was the first chairman ...

    Wingqvist bearing Sven Wingquist - oil on canvas by Oskar Spitzmüller, Vienna. Sven Gustaf Wingqvist (10 December 1876 – 17 April 1953) was a Swedish engineer, inventor, and industrialist, and one of the founders of Svenska Kullagerfabriken (SKF), one of the world's leading ball bearing and roller bearing makers.

  4. Induction shrink fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_shrink_fitting

    Induction heating is a non contact heating process which uses the principle of electromagnetism induction to produce heat in a work-piece. In this case thermal expansion is used in a mechanical application to fit parts over one another, e.g. a bushing can be fitted over a shaft by making its inner diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the shaft, then heating it until it fits over the ...

  5. Rolling-element bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling-element_bearing

    Roller bearings are the earliest known type of rolling-element-bearing, dating back to at least 40 BC. Common roller bearings use cylinders of slightly greater length than diameter. Roller bearings typically have a higher radial load capacity than ball bearings, but a lower capacity and higher friction under axial loads.

  6. Bearing (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_(mechanical)

    A ball bearing. A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion and reduces friction between moving parts.The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts.

  7. Thrust bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrust_bearing

    Thrust bearings come in several varieties. Thrust ball bearings, composed of bearing balls supported in a ring, can be used in low-thrust applications where there is little axial load. Cylindrical thrust roller bearings consist of small cylindrical rollers arranged flat with their axes pointing to the axis of the bearing. They give very good ...

  8. Spherical roller thrust bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Spherical_roller_thrust_bearing

    A spherical roller thrust bearing. A spherical roller thrust bearing is a rolling-element bearing of thrust type that permits rotation with low friction, and permits angular misalignment. The bearing is designed to take radial loads, and heavy axial loads in one direction. Typically these bearings support a rotating shaft in the bore of the ...

    Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG, also known as the Schaeffler Group (Schaeffler-Gruppe in German), is a German manufacturer of rolling element bearings [2] for automotive, aerospace and industrial uses. [3] It was founded in 1946 by brothers Dr. Wilhelm and Dr.-Ing. E. h. Georg Schaeffler. [4]
