Windshield wipers are the first line of defense when it comes to driver safety. Responsible for keeping debris, snow and rain from blocking the driver’s vision, wipers have a lot of responsibility.
The US imposed the first round of tariffs on imports from Chinese manufacturers on everything from gas turbines to self-propelled bulldozers – and bearings – on July 6, 2018. A second set of tariffs went into effect on August 23, and a third wave has been extended until September 5.
CCTY Bearing Company has expanded its forging capabilities with a new factory. In addition to more space for forging, the facility has onsite turning and heat treatment.
The accessory belt tensioner powers a car’s air conditioning, water pump, alternator and power steering by maintaining tautness of the engine serpentine belt. A tensioner is available as one of three designs:
Planetary gears require immense power to move heavy equipment while operating within a compact design. Full complement cylindrical roller bearings need only a small amount of radial space and provide high load capacity.
Constant motion and rough environmental conditions for off-road vehicles require that higher operating temperatures do not impact performance. This is why choosing the correct bearings for motion control is critical in UTV and side-by-side applications.
Heavy trucks in construction must function in the harshest environments. This machinery depends on mobility and movement, two factors that require bearings. The more prominent bearings found in the heavy-truck industry include bushings and spherical plain bearings.
SPBs or spherical plain bearings are key components in hydraulic cylinders as they are designed to take very heavy loads and impact. Hydraulic cylinders give power to the moving accessories on construction equipment, so having a strong and reliable SPB maintains up time and equipment productivity.
Whether it is to raise a boom or carry heavy loads, earth moving trucks rely on bearings. Choosing the right bearing means:
Universal joints have remained virtually unchanged for a century. The new approach from CCTY Bearing Company simplifies the design by replacing many central components with one – a square ball.
