CHALLENGE:








OVERHEATING & EARLY FAILURE
Some customers report overheating & early failures due to poor oil flow with
larger sized angular contact ball bearings utilizing Inner Ring Guided Cages.
These problems are most commonly seen in vertical shaft
pumps/gearboxes where the moving components are
designed to be lubricated by a method called “splash
lubrication". This relies on rotating components
(bearings/gears) to splash & fling oil up towards
other moving parts that aren't close enough to the
main oil reservoir.





SOLUTION:

NACHI’S NEW BMBU SERIES

Nachi now offers our new BMBU series of 40°
Angular Contact Ball Bearings which was designed
specifically to improve lubricant flow & cooling
efficiency throughout the bearing or bearing set.
The new BMBU conical shaped Ball-Guided Cage
acts as a turbine when submerged in oil, which
pumps the lubricant through a set of stacked bearings
or out towards other components. This greatly
improves overall lubrication and reduces heat via liquid cooling.
The newly designed BMBU Inner & Outer Rings are counter-bored to increase
the amount of oil that can flow through the front & back faces of the bearings.

Please consult with Nachi engineering to determine if BMBU Angular
Contact ball bearings are the right choice for your application.

CHALLENGE



Struggling with backstops that ROLLBACK during engagement?
Experiencing oil leaks and high maintenance costs?

BS-F SERIES

SOLUTION BACKSTOPS




U.S. Tsubaki’s BS-F External Backstop has a new and improved design that utilizes a
non-rollover cam design, a special labyrinth seal and synthetic grease lubrication. In doing
so, the BS-F prevents rollback, even under excessive loading. The combination labyrinth
seal and grease lubrication minimizes the risk of lubricant leaks while also maximizing the
maintenance cycle to reduce costs associated with lubrication maintenance.

CHALLENGE:

Finding fittings that withstand harsh environments and provide
seamless connections.
Brass fittings can corrode in humid conditions and bad thread
taping is common in many work environments, causing fittings
to leak and costing thousands in lost
compressed air.































SOLUTION:
Pneuforce’s Push In Fittings are worry-free, leak-free, and can
withstand humid outdoor environments! All metal parts are
stainless steel or nickel-plated brass to prevent corrosion and
can be used outside. NPT fittings are pre-coated with thread
sealant and the unique universal threads offer an airtight
O-ring seal to ensure a leakproof connection. Available in all
thread types with inch and metric size tubing. Plus, our new
stainless steel fittings are now available!

CHALLENGE:
A global chocolate manufacturer was in
need of a quick and cost-effective solu-
tion that would reduce production down-
time, provide cost savings; and create
a quality seal that would eliminate food
contamination. Seals from the compet-
itor had failed multiple times in the field
because foreign materials entered food
sources, causing machines to shut down.

Increased downtime kept production
from running consistently and smoothly,
resulting in lost revenue.











SOLUTION:
The engineering professionals at DICHTOMATIK were able to provide a custom solution and incorporate

solve the failure mode, they were immediately put into production. The new seals are performing better
and reduced maintenance costs by eliminating production downtime thus providing the customer with cost
savings, and a quality seal.

The Process Industry line of seals include standard and metal detectable clamp seals, DIN D-Rings, FDA
and metal detectable O-Rings, and many other custom solutions to meet sanitary and hygienic standards.

Challenge:

Baking Company was packaging their donuts
and couldn't lubricate their chain because the
chain attachments came in contact with their
boxes. They couldn't risk contamination, so they
ran the chain dry. This resulted in the chain
needing replaced every 2 months.
Solution:
They replaced the standard non-lubed
attachment chain with Freedom Series chain
Conveyor Type. The new attachments met all
ANSI standards and application requirements
and eliminated the need for lubrication. Now the
chain is self-lubricating the inside components
where it is needed to improve chain life, but not
on the external components of the chain where
it can contaminate the boxing. The chain has
not yet needed to be replaced.

experience premature failure from tapered roller or deep-groove ball bearings are
axial loads and contamination designed to handle both heavy radial loads and
thrust loads that needle-bearing cam followers
can't. And because the internal bearing rolling
elements don't grind together like needle
rollers, they don't skew and fail at high speeds.


Maintenance-free SMITH-TRAX Bearings
®
are lubed for life, with special seals to keep
out sand, moisture and other heavy-industry
contamination. A metal expansion plug
closes off the back end of the bearing and
forms a large lubrication reservoir. This
makes them the ideal solution in applications
where lubrication is difficult or non-existent.
SMITH-TRAX Bearings are manufactured

in stud styles for fast installation and in
yoke styles for maximum load capacity.
Produced in inch and metric sizes, there
are four different configurations (Plain,
Flanged, V-Grooved, U-Grooved) to
satisfy a wide range of applications.
SMITH-TRAX Bearings are value-priced

and interchangeable with other major
idler-rollers to meet your cost-containment
objectives.
