Power Loss and Axial Load Carrying Capacity of Radial Cylindrical Roller Bearings
This paper is intended to enlarge the application range of radial cylindrical roller bearings by means of a more precise determination of thrust load capacity and more cost-effective design.
DC Motor Protection
The purpose of DC motor protection is
to extend a motor's lifespan by protecting
it from conditions that can damage the motor's windings--both electrically
and mechanically.
Alloying Strategy Boosts Powertrain Performance
The development of a new, gas-carburized gear steel, necessitated by a customer-driven specification, has not only increased the power density in an existing gearbox design, but has done so without requiring any significant change to production processes or heat treatment equipment.

Chasing Ubiquity (Publishers Page)
Power Transmission Engineering is the magazine of mechanical components. When you think of gear drives, bearings, motors, couplings, clutches, brakes and similar products, we want you to think of us. But achieving such front-of-mind presence is one of the most difficult goals in publishing...
Predictive Maintenance - There Is an App for That (Voices)
Implementing a predictive maintenance
(PM) program can be tough. Despite its proven success, many companies have been operating the same way for over 50 years and donâ™t know where to start. Understanding where to start and where to focus is critical. The intention of this article is to give insight to start and sustain an effective program using todayâ™s technology and devices.
Global Industrial Outlook - Sideways (Market Update)
We have just returned from the Electrical Products Group Conference in
Sarasota, Florida. This is our favorite
venue because it allows us to speak
with the CEOs of nearly 25 global industrial companies that include General Electric, United Technologies,
Honeywell, ABB and Emerson, with
combined revenue of perhaps $500 billion.
