Emerson Bearing Blog

At Emerson Bearing we know that the service life of your bearing is important and want to help make sure that your bearing doesn’t get worn out too soon. This blog post aims to describe bearing wear and service life to help you get the most out of your bearings.

The purpose of a rolling bearing is simple, reduce the rolling friction while supporting the applied load. Most rolling bearings are composed by two concentric rings – known as the inner and outer race – separated by a set of evenly spaced elements rolling in between them.

Selecting a bearing requires choosing a series of parameters, including not only the most appropriate type and correct size, but also the right material. In fact, making sure that the material has the appropriate strength and toughness for the design is extremely important for a bearing. 

Each October, professionals from various industries celebrate Manufacturing (MFG) Day. This national event gives companies the opportunity to open their doors to the general public.

At Emerson Bearing we are fully dedicated to our customers, and take pride in making outstanding products as well as providing accurate documentation of their performance. Our bearings are engineered and manufactured with the highest levels of precision, and uphold the highest quality standards, however, no bearing lasts forever. So how can you be sure that your bearing will perform well throughout its life?  

A rolling bearing is composed of: two rings – known as the inner and outer race – separated by a set of rolling elements, which are most often kept at a relative distance by a cage. At its most basic level a rolling bearing decreases rotational friction and supports radial and axial loads. Each element is manufactured to a certain tolerance, and the sum of the geometrical and form tolerances determines, loosely speaking, the level of performance of the bearing – rating the load it can carry axially and/or radially, the limiting speed, noise, etc.

Emerson Bearing launched a Golf division to specifically cater to the bearing needs of golf courses and facilities utilizing golf carts throughout the U.S.

Plant and facility managers, engineers, architects, designers, and even some home improvement enthusiasts know full well the critical importance of proper measurements. Across projects in almost every industry, the accuracy of measurements can determine the success or failure of the entire endeavor.
