Risk from UK 'grey' market for bearings
UK 'grey' market for bearings puts end users and distributors at risk says Schaeffler.
The 'technical principles' section of the catalogue includes information on fatigue theory; dynamic and static load carrying capacities of bearings; variable loads and speeds; life ratings; rigidity and deflection; friction values; limiting speeds and thermally safe operating speeds; lubrication principles; design of bearing arrangements; and information on fitting and dismantling.
This section of the catalogue will enable design engineers to decide which products they are able to use for an application; what they need to consider when designing the bearing arrangement; which tolerances are suitable for the adjacent construction; and how they can achieve the most effective sealing of their bearing arrangement.
It will also help designers calculate the rating life of the bearings; what temperatures and loads can be supported; which lubricants are most suitable for the bearing arrangement; how and when maintenance should be carried out; and how to install and fit the bearings.
"The new joint branded catalogue is another important step in our one-face-to-the-customer strategy, and demonstrates further how the two brands of INA and FAG perfectly complement each other," commented Kate Hartigan, managing director at Schaeffler (UK).
The catalogue is user-friendly and is an essential reference work for design engineers, OEMs, distributors and end users.
