NSK has developed its latest four-row tapered roller bearings for rolling mills to offer a number of class-leading performance and environmental benefits. The work roll bearings use newly developed, water-resistant grease that is fully sealed into the confines of the bearing. With the new bearings, service life is typically doubled in challenging conditions such as those where there is a high risk of water penetration. In addition, the sealed design means that grease consumption is far less than that exhibited by a conventional ‘open’ bearing, while the risk of contaminating the environment is greatly reduced.
Kollmorgen has introduced the next generation of Motioneering, the company’s innovative servo sizing tool. Motioneering was introduced more than 20 years ago – the first tool of its kind – to help mechanical design engineers find the ideal motion products to build into their machines. It streamlines and simplifies the design process by incorporating 100+ years of Kollmorgen expertise about which motion solutions work best for specific applications such as factory automation, robotics, material forming, and many others.
NSK used the recent EMO 2019 exhibition to introduce its optimised RA series of recirculating roller bearing guides with enhanced sealing technology. RA linear roller guides are equipped with new V1 seals and an improved cover, thus helping to increase the service life and reliability of machine tools.
ElectroCraft, Inc., the global fractional horsepower motor and motion solutions provider, has expanded its DC motor drive lineup for the CompletePower™ Plus Universal Drive and PRO-Series.
The advanced coating and tool geometry of the new TTP2050 threading insert grade from Seco Tools offers efficient, secure, stable performance, along with the effective chip control necessary to prevent threading chips from ruining critical parts in the final phases of production.
NSK has named its latest Certified AIP Partner, Coroll s.r.o., which becomes the first authorised distributor in the Czech Republic to receive the accolade. At an award ceremony on 13 May, the certificate was presented to the company’s management team, along with NSK’s ‘Man towards future’ award, which signifies impressive levels of progress. Coroll was nominated to become a Certified AIP Partner by NSK Poland.
At EMO 2019 NSK presented its new Robustride cylindrical roller bearings for the spindle drives of high speed, high precision machine tools. These advanced bearings feature an optimised cage that facilitates more even lubricant distribution, which in turn reduces bearing wear, especially under high loads. Also launched at the show were NSK’s Robust angular contact ball bearings with improved accuracy class.
At the EMO exhibition in Hannover, the world leader in bar feeding, air filtration, coolant management and chip management systems for machine tools, the LNS Group will be introducing its new Chipblaster product line. The LNS Group acquired Chipblaster Inc. in October 2018 and the integration of the Chipblaster business will provide the industry leading coolant management systems with a direct route to market in Europe and worldwide markets via the LNS Group sales and service network. The first opportunity for the European market to view the Chipblaster flagship products will be on Stand D16 in Hall 17 at the EMO Fair from 16th to 21st September.
