Before determining the best bearing for your application, it is necessary to identify the bearing type and characteristics. This guide will dive into different types of bearings and their uses, along with the definition, function, as well as classification of bearings & bushings vs bearings. What Is Bearing and Its Functions? A bearing is a crucial component in various mechanical systems, used to limit relative motion and reduce friction between moving parts. Bearings can support the shaft and maintain its correct position, while also being able to withstand the force acting on the ......

STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Data) files are essential in the world of 3D CAD (computer-aided design) for facilitating interoperability among various CAD software systems like CATIA, Creo, SolidWorks, NX, and Inventor. This format, governed by the ISO 10303 standard, helps in exchanging data across different platforms, which is increasingly critical as industries move towards more integrated and model-based definitions. This neutral 3D CAD file format is pivotal in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and defense due to its ability to maintain rich geometric and desig......

A tool setter is a sensor used to measure the length of tools on CNC machine tools. By automatically measuring the tool length with micron accuracy and feeding it back to the Numerical Control (NC), it compensates for tool wear and thermal displacement of the tool caused by heat. This allows CNC machine tools to demonstrate their original high processing accuracy. Tool setters also detect chipping or breaking of the cutting edge and automatically stop the machine to prevent the occurrence of defective products. The need for trial cuts by skilled operators during tool change and manual i......
