Representing a breakthrough in the evolution of a ship’s propeller shaft line, Canada’s Thordon Bearings has unveiled the Thordon-Blue Ocean Stern Space (T-BOSS), a new solution designed to meet the ...

Peer-reviewed research by Thordon Bearings into the hydrodynamic lubrication efficiency of a ship’s propeller shaft bearing has found that the use of seawater-lubricated elastomeric polymer bearings ...

However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

Bearing-related problems are among the most common causes of motor failures. Solving those problems will reduce motor failures. Did you know bearing-related problems cause more than half of all motor ...

I don’t know why, but in recent years I’ve seen a rash of bearings with cracked inner races. Sometimes the damage was on relatively new machines with very few hours on them. Symptoms related to a ...

At light loads an externally pressurized sleeve bearing tends to be stiffest, followed by rolling-element bearings and self-acting sleeve bearings. As loads increase, the rolling-element bearing ...

Driving on a bad or failing wheel bearing is dangerous. If ignored, it can quickly turn into a safety issue and an expensive ...

The static electrical charges produced by a turbine rotor create an effect akin to the one that results from dragging your feet across a carpet in the winter when the relative humidity is low. Touch a ...
