What are pullers for bearings?

Bearing pullers are designed to make bearing removal and installation easy. They resemble scissors and can be used on anything from skates to industrial machinery. Handheld models have inserts to control the pliers, while larger versions are used in factories. Newer versions have a small puller tool for quicker work. Portable bearing pullers are available […]

Pulley Bearings: what are they?

Pulley bearings are heat-resistant metal or metal alloy rings found in the center of pulley wheels. They protect the mounting structure and wheel from heat, allow for higher speed, and ensure smooth operation. Ball bearings are commonly used to distribute load weight evenly and reduce friction. Plastic pulleys are fitted with pulley bearings to handle […]

What’re ball bearings?

Ball bearings are small metal or ceramic balls used to reduce friction in various applications. They were first patented in 1791 by Philip Vaughan and have since been used in manufacturing and machines. They allow for both rotary and axial motion and are perfectly round and smooth. Making them involves using machines to remove flashing […]

Conveyor Bearings: What are they?

Conveyors transport objects or materials within a space. Conveyor bearings facilitate easy movement of parts and can be mounted within rollers, cylinders, or motor components. Flanged ball conveyor bearings are useful for moving items in various directions and for easy maintenance. Sealed transport bearings prevent premature wear from dirt and grit. Conveyors are systems used […]

Ceramic ball bearings: what are they?

Ceramic ball bearings are used in various applications, including skateboards and industrial equipment. They consist of an outer race, inner race, and balls, with ceramic being lighter and producing less friction than steel. There are three types of ceramic bearings: full, hybrid, and partial. Ceramic bearings are cheaper to create than steel bearings and have […]

Steel ball bearings: how are they used?

Steel ball bearings reduce friction and wear between metal objects, improving performance and extending the life of items. They are used in various equipment, including skateboards, fishing reels, and door hinges. Regular maintenance is necessary for optimal performance. The medium steel ball bearing consists of a series of tiny metal balls nestled between two metal […]
