The most common type is a rolling bearing,  which usually consists of an inner and outer ring, between which smooth metal balls or rollers (or possibly other elements) roll, housed in a so-called cage. The relevant load is transmitted through these rolling elements, thereby allowing free rotation or displacement of the corresponding machine parts.

Designation of rolling bearings might seem like a science, but it's not that bad. Even though at first glance it might not be completely clear. The designation consists of a combination of numbers and letters.

For a bearing to work correctly, it must be properly lubricated. In practice, "properly" means that the bearing must be relubricated at the right time, with the right lubricant, and in the correct quantity. If we succeed in doing this, we significantly extend the bearing's service life and prevent wear and failure. In this article, you will learn how, when, and with what to properly lubricate bearings to prevent unnecessary failures, downtimes, and ultimately time and financial losses.

Counterfeit bearings from unverified sources continue to leak into Czech facilities. Unfortunately, the problem of counterfeit bearings affects all major bearing manufacturers. These bearings can represent a major problem even for your production plant if you purchase them by mistake. This applies both in terms of costs and potential downtime in the event of machine failure. How to recognize these bearings and how to prevent purchasing them?

They say that not all belts are created equal. Did you know that simply by choosing the right belt drive you can save yourself a lot of worries and additional costs? Indeed, an unsuitable choice of belt drive will, sooner or later, show in normal operation – from reduced drive service life and high stress and wear on bearings to a number of other complications.

Damaged bearings lead to downtime and lost productivity. Find out how to prevent damage before it is too late.
