Reducing Industrial and Commercial Equipment Downtime. Emerson Bearing Boston Outlines the Benefits of Oil Seals & Offers Helpful Guide

BOSTON, MA… Emerson Bearing, a Boston, MA-based bearing company catering to niche markets nationwide and the sister company of Action Bearing which serves the New England market, offers a complimentary, “how to” guide for choosing the correct bearing seals.

Equipment downtime and reduced component life are a few consequences and potential costs of using the wrong seals on many types of industrial equipment. 

Emerson Bearing offers an effective guideline on how to choose the correct bearing seals 
in a “Guidelines for Bearing Seals” complimentary guide available for download from their website, EmersonBearing.com.

The comprehensive guide includes information about selecting the right seal elastomer compound, sealing system preparation, basic seal designs and more.

Steve Katz, president of Emerson Bearing explained, “Oil seals are vital to the daily operation of most factories and a wide range of industrial and commercial equipment. They are critical components that help keep equipment from breaking down, and allow production equipment to better withstand severe environments. Oil seals help ensure consistent, reliable operation without the risk of damage from leaks.”

Keeping the lubricant in and keeping dirt and contaminants out of rotating components is key. With correct installation, oil seals can also prevent seal leakage and maintain the lubricity of a bearing to ensure that the rotary shaft and its bearings remain fully functional.

Oil seals are available in imperial and metric dimensions for both single- and double-lip design. Motors, Mechanical Hydraulic systems, pistons, and pumps utilize oil seals to protect internal components. Depending on the application, there are various material, size, and configuration options to best fit your needs. 
    
Generally, oil seals vary in materials and types based on the corresponding application. Common materials include: Nitrile Buna-N 70, Fluoropolymer, Silicone and Polyacrylate.

The benefits of oil seals include: Low levels of friction; compact size and light weight; reliable, rugged performance even under harsh conditions or extreme temperatures; simple construction; and versatility.

The “Guidelines for Bearing Seals” complimentary guide is available in the Resource Library for Bearing Products on Emerson Bearing’s website or by visiting:

Emerson Bearing Boston Announces Robotics/High Tech Division

Boston-based Emerson Bearing, a bearing company catering to niche markets nationwide and the sister company of Action Bearing which serves the New England market, has established a Robotics/High Tech Division dedicated to a fast-growing customer base, particularly manufacturing and warehouse automation markets.

Emerson Bearing’s Marketing Specialist Rick Piracini oversees the division. Piracini 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.

From Warehouse to Medical Manufacturers

Robotic and automation technologies utilize bearings to perform accurate and precise motions. With today’s advancements in software development and networking technology, it’s easier than ever to implement efficient robotics and automation solutions. Manufacturers around the world continually adopt industrial robots to meet consumers’ expectation that manufactured goods be increasingly sophisticated and technologically advanced. 

Warehouse automation is another growing field within robotics and automation. Autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) and picking robots have helped the sector streamline processes and complement a smaller human workforce amid a long-term logistics labor shortage. Automation has risen to meet demands within the medical and pharmaceutical industries, as well. Medical manufacturers commonly use flexible automation for the packaging, assembly, and inspection of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and accessories. 

“Robots can accurately and efficiently produce high volumes of identical products, handle repetitive tasks and run continuously without the need for breaks,” said Steve Katz, Emerson Bearing’s president. “As such, robotics and automation solutions 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.”

Emerson Bearing provides a variety of bearing solutions for production and warehouse automation applications, including:

– Linear motion systems which offer high load capacity and long travel life in applications requiring single-direction motion. They are available in metric and inch series and constructed from chrome or stainless steel to fit most linear motion applications.

– Super precision bearings. These chromium steel or stainless steel bearings feature controlled end play and radial runout, which allow them to provide more accurate and precise output. They are rated by the Annular Bearing Engineers Committee (ABEC) of the American Bearing Manufacturers Association (ABMA).

– Cam followers. These pillow blocks/mounted units support bearings outside of machine enclosures and are an essential component of automated conveyor systems.

– Rod ends are used in the articulation joints of robotic arms. They are classified as either male or female, depending on the design of the threading. 

Emerson Bearing’s special solutions include thin cross section, high capacity, ball bearings available in radial, angular or four-point contact styles, off the shelf linear guidance for unique applications, and plain bearings (bushings) for small radial or axial design envelopes. These are maintenance free and 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 Boston Offers Secondary Sealing System for Type E Units

Emerson Bearing Boston, a bearing company catering to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) markets around the world, now offers a secondary sealing system for Type E Housed Units which better withstands harsh environments, protects against contamination and moisture, and provides improved life.

Machine tool applications require bearings that are designed for rigid, high speed, high precision machine tool spindles. Type E Units provide a combination of high radial and thrust loads. For extra protection and to increase uptime in severely contaminated and wet environments, Emerson Bearing has expanded their line to include the multi-point sealing system – the TIMKEN® Type E Tapered Roller Bearing Housed Unit Secondary Sealing System. 

The system has a rugged cover that protects against contamination (particularly in industries where particulates are an issue) and upgraded abrasion-resistant, triple-barrier internal seal for harsh and/or dirty applications. Type E Secondary Sealing Systems are available in the full range of units from 13/16” to 5” and 35 mm to 100 mm. 

“The Type E Mounted Unit is widely used in heavy duty applications and the add-on of a secondary seal has broadened the range of applications where customers can get improved life,” explained Steve Katz, president. “At Emerson Bearing, Type E units are among our top sellers for their cost-effective, efficient design.”

Type E Pillow Blocks and More

At Emerson Bearing, we offer various types of mounting units well-suited to a range of heavy-duty applications. Pillow block mounted units are ideal for smaller loads and less rigorous applications. Flange block mounted units are held in place by two or four bolts, and it is the four-bolt design that can take larger loads and is typically employed for heavy-duty applications. Hanger blocks are almost always used for conveyor belts, and are made of well-lubricated split roller bearings that are housed together and can be hung from a conveyor.
