Preloaded Angular Contact Bearings
Preloaded angular contact bearings lock in the precision axial displacement of the bearing’s outer rings relative to its inner rings. If the thrust load is bi-directional, use a duplex arrangement for optimum performance. The benefits of preloading an angular contact
Thin Section Ball Bearings White Paper
Bearings need to withstand their operating environment and work within a larger system called a bearing assembly. Bearing design is important, but so is bearing integration. This two-step process consists of 1) the outer ring to housing fit-up and 2)
How to Choose an eVTOL Bearing Manufacturer
Learn how to choose an eVTOL bearing manufacturer that gives you a competitive edge. As eVTOL companies refine and improve their product designs, they need to do more than pursue lightweighting initiatives and the optimal arrangement of motors. eVTOL developers
How Schatz Designs Custom Bearings
Do you need custom ball bearings for aerospace, military, medical, or semiconductor equipment applications? Schatz Bearing can customize one of our standard catalog products, or we can design and manufacture a custom bearing that is driven solely by your requirements.
What is a Ball Bearing?
The image above shows several ball bearing types. A ball bearing is a mechanical assembly that carries loads, reduces friction, supports positioning, and facilitates rotational and/or oscillatory motion. It is more than just than just a single BB-shaped ball. Ball
Why Airframe Bearings and Long Lead Times Don’t Mix
Schatz makes airframe bearings for military and civilian applications. Airframe bearings with long lead-times can disrupt aircraft production and aviation maintenance repair and overhaul (AvMRO) operations. Whether you’re an aerospace manufacturer or an industrial products distributor, you need a supplier
