Machine tool builder benefits from NSK motion control solutions
Euromac, a global specialist in the design and manufacture of punching and bending machines, is benefitting from NSK ball screws, linear guides and bearings in two high-profile recent projects. In fact, Euromac has been taking advantage of NSK motion control technology since 1995 as part of a long-standing and highly successful partnership. From its headquarters […]
Training and professional tools extend bearing service life
A manufacturer of polystyrene-based insulating products was experiencing frequent failures in the bearings of conveyors which link its machines. However, relatively easy control of the situation arrived following a hands-on NSK training course for maintenance personnel and the adoption of the correct bearing mounting tools. To what extent does the correct mounting of bearings have […]
NSK bearings with patented cage elevate performance
A new series of NSK spherical roller bearings with a patented cage design is set to provide general industry with new levels of productivity, reliability and load capacity. The optimised cage reduces internal stress and eliminates the need for a guide ring, providing just two of many benefits over existing solutions. Potential applications for the […]
Investing in NSKHPS bearings provides steel plant with sizeable saving
In a steel plant, a walking beam moves material in bar form along a conveyor while it cools. At this particular steel manufacturing facility, plain-bush bearings on the walking beam were failing around six times per year, largely as a result of the challenging working environment (outside location) and high loads. Due to the high […]
Agriculture sector can boost drive-train reliability with NSK bearings
Drive-train solutions for vehicles and machines in the agriculture industry must meet a variety of performance demands that typically centre on high torque and high loads. Bearings for transmissions, differentials and prop shafts must therefore offer the highest levels of reliability and service life. NSK, based on decades of experience in supplying bearings for automotive […]
Michell Bearings’ unique capability a success for nuclear station blackout
Michell Bearings has successfully completed station blackout (SBO) tests on a thrust and guide bearing used within the reactor coolant pump at a new build nuclear power plant. In what is thought to be one of the world’s first successful bearing run downs, the test demonstrated the bearing’s ability to survive a station blackout condition […]

The very best of NTN’s ball bearings, available in Europe
In step with a process launched last year, CM internal clearance is now spreading to the whole range of deep-groove ball bearings so that bore diameter codes 00 to 06 are also available in the coming months. Initially designed for applications with stringent requirements – electric motors in particular – NTN deep-groove ball bearings with […]
New NSK deep groove ball bearings for electric motors boost energy efficiency
The low energy consumption of electric drives is an important target in many industrial applications, and rolling bearings can play a role in delivering this ambition. NSK demonstrates this effect with a new series of deep groove ball bearings that generates up to 80% less energy loss, a factor that has a positive effect on […]
NTN-SNR makes food-processing the flavour of the month
NTN-SNR, a leader in precision mechanics, is pressing ahead with food safety. The company plans to invest in its solutions for the food-processing industry as a way to optimise and strengthen its short-term range. The goal is to achieve optimal production with no risk to the user. This is necessary investment for a sector with […]
NSK Molded-Oil bearings extend service life in food plant conveyor application
A vegetable processing plant in Germany is enjoying significant benefits following the adoption of Molded-Oil bearings from NSK. Principally, the move has helped the company extend the service life of bearings on a critical conveyor from two weeks, to 40, saving considerable maintenance costs and downtime in the process. Keen to resolve the question of […]
Hygienic design cuts risk of food contamination
Bearings are critical to the operation of food processing lines, but can act as traps for bacteria, so must be designed so as not to cause contamination. Phil Burge, marketing and communications manager at SKF UK, explains. Possibly the worst nightmare for the manager of a food processing factory is a product recall and there […]
