A couple of months ago, we published a QA post including an account of electrically damaged insulated bearings. We got a few questions about that one. “Aren’t insulated bearings supposed to block bearing current? Then how did they...
Power Transmission components are prettymundane, right? Gears and bearings can only be arrangedso many ways, after all. You’d think by now that we’dhave discovered every possible way to make mechanical devicesas strong and efficient as...

It would be difficult to imagine how the modern industrial age would have developed without…bearings. Every kind of machine that requires motion makes use of bearings in some way to smooth their path and reduce friction and such an impo...
Maintaining a car is one of the most important aspects of owning it. Each part of a car requires special care. Otherwise, it might not function properly. One of the most overlooked parts of the car is the wheel bearings. These small yet ext...
Water contamination is a major issue affecting bearing life. It is a source of bearing failure that is often not well understood and is overlooked, particularly as bearings might not be in direct proximity to wet areas or obvious sources of...
This obviously depends on the model! We’ve nevertheless undertaken to give a rough count of theminimum number of bearings in acar.We counted 36. Here’s how we came up with that number: 10 bearings on the steering column: 8needle bearing...
