Action Bearing Announces New Transportation Division, Falvey to Oversee it

Joe Falvey
Action Bearing, providers of bearings and related products to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) markets in New England, has recently announced a new Transportation Division. Joe Falvey, Marketing Specialist at Action Bearing will oversee the division, which is heavily focused on accommodating the unique bearing and related product needs of the Rail industry.

Falvey, who has been with the company for 28 years, will assist 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.

Falvey also oversees the Material Handling Division and previously held the position of Sales Representative. He attended Salem State College in Salem, MA and is a resident of Lancaster, MA.

Bearing requirements for the Transportation industry, in particular the Rail industry, fall into three major groups: Bearings for Drive Systems (transmission, traction drive, axle suspension); Bearings for the Chassis (wheel sets, brakes) and Bearings for Vehicle bodies (connectors, door systems). The product range includes high capacity ball and roller bearings for the transmission and drives as well as rod ends and control bearings for the chassis and door systems.

Action Bearing is the prime supplier to the largest rebuilder of major traction motor drives for transit authorities in the Northeast. There are many different bearings used on trains and the bearings themselves have very special requirements. Action Bearing specializes in traction motor bearings, which are the size of a desk and fit on each train wheel.

According to Steve Katz, Action Bearing’s president, “Getting from point A to B is something we often take for granted. The bearings designed for the rail industry provide the reliability and safety we have come to expect. We do a tremendous amount of business in traction motor drives. Last year, this Northeast rebuilder purchased more than $150K of these monstrous bearings from us. They are absolutely essential for traction in the rain and snow and we are one of the only providers of traction motor bearings.”

Action Bearing also provides special solutions that include cylindrical roller bearings that meet the higher F1 tolerances for extended running life and reliability which are also available with current insulation. Other related products supplied by Action for rail systems include Ball Bearings, Taper Roller Bearings, Spherical Roller Bearings, Oil Seals, Hydraulic Cylinders And Pumps, Miniature / Instrumentation Bearings, Oil Seals, Ball Bearings and Linear Motion.

Action Bearing Helps Harness the Wind with Dedicated Wind Power Division

Rick Piracini
Action Bearing, providers of bearings and related products to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) markets throughout New England, has announced a dedicated Wind Power Generation Division to accommodate the unique bearing requirements of the wind turbine market.

Rick Piracini, Marketing Specialist and industry expert at Action Bearing, will oversee the Wind Power Generation division, assisting 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 all of the various types of bearings needed for wind turbines.

Wind turbines often stand 250 feet in the air and are mechanical and technical marvels that rely on bearings, which are the key components of the gearbox, generator and blade.

Action Bearing provides the necessary roller bearings, deep groove ball bearings and four point contact bearings for gearboxes.

The generator in the nacelle of a wind turbine is subjected to significantly greater vibration loads, so bearing size, design and lubrication all play a critical role. The bearing arrangement of a generator generally contains a combination of deep groove ball bearings or cylindrical roller bearings, all of which are available through Action Bearing. Due to the risk of serious damage such as melt craters and false brinelling, Action Bearing advises using current insulated bearings in many applications.

It is critical that the turbines be aligned optimally to the wind. This is controlled by blade bearings (pitch bearings), Yaw bearing and blade adjustment which requires sealed spherical bushings that have corrosion protection which are all available through Action Bearing.

Action’s 24/7 service and vast inventory are critical to the operations of wind power clients. For more information or to speak with Rick Piracini of Action Bearing, call 1-866-995-8765 or email rickp@Actionbearing.com.

Robotics and automation require the highest standards in bearings. All movements have to be supported with extremely high precision and reliability in every axis. This provides smooth running, high load capacity, rigidity and long life. Ball bearings, miniature instrumentation bearings and linear motion bearings are used in a number of biomedical applications including prosthetics and clinical and imaging equipment such as centrifuges, X-ray and CT scan equipment, hospital room carts and hospital bed pulleys for lifting patients.

In need of special solutions? Action Bearing offers thin cross section, high capacity, ball bearings in radial, angular or four point contact styles. Plain bearings (bushings) for small radial or axial design envelopes, which are maintenance free, are available in metal backed style with a liner or thermoplastic with a composition to suit various needs: food grade, high load, dirty environment, etc. Action Bearing also provides off-the-shelf linear guidance for unique applications.

One of Action Bearings’ newest clients is a medical device company that purchased “control bearings” for their foot prosthetic. Control bearings are ball bearings that allow the client to replicate the movement of the ankle.
