Learn how root cause analysis and integrated data prevent hydropower bearing failures, reduce costly downtime, and improve ...

Encouraging results from recent up-tower testing at a wind farm in Oregon indicate that the conductive-microfiber bearing protection ring is preventing generator bearing damage. Designed by the ...

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 ...

The bearing related derailment that occurred in East Palestine Feb. 3, 2023 on a Norfolk Southern line was tragic in many ways. Following months of investigation, the NTSB held a hearing on June 22, ...

UK investigators have attributed to bearing failure the detachment of a main landing-gear wheel from a TUI Airways Boeing 737-800 after touchdown at Manchester last year. But the inquiry has been ...

Any part failure is bad at track speeds. Few are worse than an entire wheel bearing failing. Without the benefit of the tethers most race cars are equipped with, there's a risk of the wheel simply ...

Electric motors fail more often than they should. Sometimes, it is not the motor’s fault. The real issue lies deep within—where current leaks through the bearings. That is where insulated bearings ...

The causes of wheel separation are well known. They include bearing failures; loose, broken, or missing wheel fasteners; damaged wheels, and to a lesser degree, failures of certain axle and suspension ...

Engines are incredibly complex. They are made out of thousands of different parts, exposed to high temperatures, and have lots of moving parts. This leaves many potential pain points an engine can ...

When oil starts to leak, engine damage quickly follows and the motor won’t survive for very long. But what’s different today ...

Typically, wheel bearings are like Simon and Garfunkel (or Disturbed, if you prefer) and emit "The Sound of Silence." Not the song, that'd be annoying, but actual silence. However, when wheel bearings ...
