Visitors were able to tour Action Bearing’s advanced facilities and attend educational presentations where the company’s bearings experts shared their knowledge of materials, managing load and speed, clearances, specialty bearings, the overall process and more. They were also able to see examples of bearing applications, from robotics to steel mills, and anything in between.
