Scratching more than the surface. Emerson Bearing now serving the mining industry

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS

Emerson Bearing a Boston based bearing company catering to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) markets throughout the world now supplies bearings and related products to the Mining industry.

“The mining industry combines the challenges of harsh environments, extremely high load capacities and the need to operate where downtime is not an option. These are bearing intensive operations whether it be for a bucket wheel, tunnel borer, vibrating screen, conveyor bearings or transmission bearings for off road dump trucks,” said Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing, Inc. “Action Bearing products can be real difference makers for mining companies looking to improve efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.”

Adds Katz, “We recommend split spherical or cylindrical roller bearings which cut down on maintenance costs and dramatically reduce downtime. These are especially effective in difficult to access locations. For articulation/swivel joints we now recommend a combination of a high-load capacity four-point bearings used with a maintenance free spherical plain.”

Emerson Bearing Marketing Specialist Bill Zylicz is responsible for the Mining Industry division. He can be reached by e-mail at bzylicz@actionbearing.com or by calling 1.866.995.8762.

Piracini to Lead New Division that Caters to Manufacturers at Emerson Bearing Boston

Rick Piricini
Emerson Bearing Boston, providers of bearing and related products for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) markets around the globe, has announced a dedicated division for manufacturers of robotics and automation. Rick Piracini, Emerson Bearing’s industry solutions expert, will lead the new Robotics and Automation Division.

Piracini oversees Emerson Bearing’s knowledgeable Robotics and Automation team and 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 their applications.

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 factories that manufacture the robotic machinery and automated equipment.

For manufacturers in need of special solutions, Emerson 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. Emerson Bearing also provides expert linear guidance for unique applications.

Emerson Bearing offers a vast inventory and 24/7 service, which is critical to customers’ operations. Among Emerson Bearing’s wide range of clients is a very large manufacturer of Robotic and Automation equipment that serves the Automotive industry as well as the automation of the complete assembly of Flat screen televisions.

“Our off-the-shelf inventory, same day service and weekend operating hours help factories avoid costly down-time by providing the necessary bearings that are critical to their operations as well as the production lines of their manufacturing customers,” noted Steve Katz, president.

New England Based Bearing Company Cuts Costs with Green Initiative

Boston based Action Bearing is saving big bucks each month and they attribute it to their latest green initiative.

Action Bearing, providers of bearings and related products to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) markets throughout New England, decided to seek a more environmentally-friendly way to package each shipment of bearings and related products.

Not only is it better for the environment, but the company reduced their overall packaging costs by $500 to $1000 per month.

“We’ve obtained significant cost savings, upwards of $12,000 per year by simply seeking ‘greener’ alternatives. Had we been aware of this great technology, we would’ve incorporated it years ago,” noted Steve Katz, the company’s president.

Action Bearing has also taken measures to reduce new paper consumption.
