In a sense, thrust bearings are 90° angular-contact bearings. In a sense, thrust bearings are 90° angular-contact bearings. They support pure thrust loads at moderate speeds, but for practical ...

These days, it’s common among us hackers to load a stepper motor with forces in-line with their shaft–especially when we couple them to leadscrews or worm gears. Unfortunately, steppers aren’t really ...

Garrett's dual ball-bearing turbos were originally designed for diesel engines. Diesels were known to produce throttle tip-in smoking. The smoke was the byproduct of a rich condition that occurs after ...

Bushings and bearings are crucial automotive components. They’re critical parts of a car’s suspension and chassis and many of them are installed via press fit, which isn’t a journalist’s workout ...

Sophisticated mainshaft support systems must be developed because present jet engines demand long life and the next generation of engines will require higher levels of performance and higher thrust to ...

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 ...
