New Bearing Technology Could Revolutionize Manufacturing Processes

Main Bearings:

- Main bearings, also known as crankshaft bearings, are designed to support the crankshaft within the engine block. They are positioned at the main bearing journals of the crankshaft and provide support for the rotational motion of the crankshaft. Main bearings are subjected to radial loads and are crucial for maintaining the alignment and smooth rotation of the crankshaft.

The amount of thrust that a ball bearing can withstand is a critical factor in determining its suitability for various applications. The maximum thrust load capacity of a ball bearing is influenced by several key factors, including the bearing's design, size, material composition, and intended use. Here are some important considerations related to the thrust capacity of ball bearings:

   - Needle Roller Bearings: Needle roller bearings are commonly used in applications where space is limited, and high radial load-carrying capacity is essential. They are often found in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications where compact and lightweight bearing solutions are required.
