With domestic market demand at an all-time high and raw materials at a premium, metal producers are doing all they can to keep production capacity at a maximum and avoid down time. In light of this, Emerson Bearing Boston has expanded their Metal Processing division to provide comprehensive bearing solutions to wire forming industries.
Wire forming offers a high degree of versatility and customization. Unlike other manufacturing methods such as die casting, extrusion, and molding, wire forming requires very little initial setup for a quicker, more streamlined process. Wire forming requires precision bearings that assist with the direction and manipulation of wire profiles throughout the manufacturing process. It requires specialized equipment to perform a multitude of tasks. Bearings provide necessary movement and direction in many load-bearing and process applications, and they can be tailored to meet the needs of particular operations. This allows the forming of many everyday products ranging from paperclips to automotive heavy-duty springs.
Superior quality bearings for the wire forming industry
Boston-based Emerson Bearing caters to niche markets nationwide and is the sister company of Action Bearing which serves the New England market. Their dedicated Metal Processing division is led by Marketing Specialist Richard Furtado, who assists clients in determining which bearing technologies would be most suitable by taking into consideration the specifications, recommendations, maintenance strategies, fatigue life and wear resistance of the bearing in relation to the application.
According to Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing, “Wire forming is a quick manufacturing process that allows for reduced turnaround time between product development and its release onto the market. Emerson Bearing is dedicated to accommodating the unique bearing needs of wire forming industries to keep production smoothly rolling along.”
Emerson Bearing highlights the most common bearings used in wire forming: Groove bearings, which are characterized by a groove that can be produced in a range of custom angles and contours. They can be incorporated into ball bearings, cam followers, and yoke rollers to enhance wire forming operations. Straighteners, which are specifically designed to eliminate bends and irregularities as well as remove cast memory in the metal. And, cam followers, which are roller bearings designed to follow a cam profile to create linear motion from rotary motion.
Emerson Bearing provides wire forming industries with quality bearings that meet and exceed industry standards for a wide range of applications. The company’s superior bearing designs are specifically engineered to meet the needs of a variety of load-bearing and motion-enhancing applications.
