The Large Bearing Testing Machine has been developed and primarily used for commercial testing of large bearings. It is capable of applying 1,600 kips (7,117 kN) vertical load, and lateral ...

Bearings are one of the most important components in a motion system. They’re also one of the most anonymous; and that’s by design. When bearings need attention, there’s usually a problem. The time to ...

Bearings define speed, load-carrying capacity, precision, and stiffness, and they contribute to the spindle operating temperature, vibration, and noise during operation. It wasn’t so long ago that a ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. In addition to mechanical tests used to determine material properties of composite materials, tests to determine structural properties are commonly performed on ...

They could if they are made from powder metal (PM). Engineers have relied on bearings and bushings made from PM for over 80 years, and recent advances have made PM parts even more attractive. Reliable ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Figure 1b. ASTM D8387 high bypass/low bearing test configurations. Tensile test specimen with doubler plates (left) and compressive test specimen with doubler ...

Nuclear power plants depend on electric motor-driven pumps to circulate coolant through a closed system of pipes to help dissipate excess heat. These machines, reactor coolant pumps (RCPs), must be ...
