Every aspect that impacts the ride needs to be considered in the wheels, bearings, and trucks. However, bearings are something that people usually overlook because they are so small. Common bearing ratings you’ll usually encounter are ABEC 5 and ABEC 7. These are talked about a lot but are widely misunderstood among skaters. What do […]

Choosing materials for an electric motor shaft can determine its efficiency, strength, and performance. If it needs strength under high stress or better precision for operation, poor material choice will be synonymous with a high frequency of mechanical failures; and proper material choice will mean long-standing reliability. In this article, we dive deep into all […]

Skateboarding is about precision, balance, and fluid movement. Have you ever stopped and thought about the elements that make all of these things possible? Dogbones, along with bearings, are what make your skateboard roll effortlessly, of course, whether you are landing big tricks or just cruising the streets. But how many bearings does a skateboard […]

Proper bearing fit contributes to the efficiency, reliability, and longevity of rotating machinery. The choice of a proper bearing fit for a shaft demands a nuanced approach based on engineering principles; for instance, load, temperature, or materials might be considered factors. A fit that’s too loose or too tight might cause performance to be affected, […]

Lubricating oils are vital in maintaining machinery for smooth operation and longevity, spanning multiple industries. Be it automobile engines, heavy machinery, or fine precision instruments, the right kind of lubricant aids in smooth operation, wear reduction, and optimization of performance. Discussing the different types of lubricants, their unique properties, and their application-related considerations, the article […]

Oil-based lubricants find applications for ensuring the effective functioning of machinery and for enhancing their longevity across industries. Choosing an appropriate lube oil is not a matter of preference but an informed choice derived from an understanding of its composition, properties, and the requirements of its specific application. Given the wide array of products sold […]

Sealing is a very critical point, yet it is very often neglected. Several kinds of sealing systems reside under this category: oil seals, shaft seals, and gaskets. These meticulously engineered components are of utmost importance in keeping an engine operational by not allowing leakage of fluids, keeping lubrication inside, and preventing contamination from dust and […]

Oil seals, also commonly known as rotary shaft seals, are ubiquitous components that go into quite a number of machines and systems and ensure efficiency and leak prevention. In cases of automotive engines, industrial plants, or hydraulic plants, the oil seals either make smooth running possible or bring downtime more expensive. This article discusses the […]

For efficiency maintenance, and longevity of your vehicle, even the smallest components matter. An automotive oil seal and shaft seal are the unsung heroes, preventing leaks, protecting internal components, and assisting in performance. Whether a car enthusiast, a professional mechanic, or just someone interested in learning more about their vehicle, this guide walks you through […]

Lubricant oil plays a crucial role in the performance and longevity of machinery, engines, and countless mechanical systems. From reducing friction and wear to dissipating heat and preventing corrosion, its applications are vast and essential across various industries. However, with so many types of lubricants available—each tailored for specific purposes—understanding which one to choose can […]
