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 ...

One-directional thrust bearings can support heavy thrust loads in one direction, combined with moderate radial loads. High shoulders on the inner and outer rings provide steep contact angles for high ...

At the heart of your powerplant is the crankshaft, and this baby not only has to endure the entire rotating mass, but it is subjected to countless spin cycles at varying rpm. It's a tough life, which ...

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 ...
