Ritbearing Markets
Machine Tool Industry
Background:
The manufacturing of metal parts and components is essential to any economic marketplace. Typically, the machine tool industry is utilizing the latest technological advances in manufacturing processes. The United States used to be the dominate producer in machine tool manufacturing. During the 1980’s and into the 1990’s, US manufacturing companies lost major ground to companies from Germany, Japan and Italy. Countries such as Taiwan and China have started to gain market share with their products in today’s business climate. As is with most segments of the market, today’s customer is very savvy and is able to procure machine tool products throughout the world.
Product Features:
- Angular Contact bearings offer high stiffness and the ability to carry axial forces in one direction.
- Tolerances are typically in the Abec 7 to Abec 9 range with the majority of today’s precision angular contact manufacturers.
- Angular contact bearings are non-separable and can be provided in a single fashion, pairs, tri-sets or quad sets.
- Cylindrical roller bearings used in the machine tool industry are typically supplied in either single or double row.
- The cylindrical rolling element allows for higher load carrying capacity throughout the bearing.
- Other styles of precision cylindrical product include combination products such as Needle Roller Bearings, Axial Cylindrical Roller Bearings and Axial Radial Bearings.
Applications:
- Axial Radial Bearings- Machining Centers, Rotary Tables
- Needle Roller/ Axial Cylindrical Roller Bearings- Cylindrical Grinding Machines
- Angular Contact Bearings- Spindles on grinding machines
- Needle Roller Bearings- Non Locating Bearings used in conjunction with Needle Roller/ Axial Cylindrical Roller Bearings.
Ritbearing’s goal is to educate conusmers on alternative options that are available for their bearing requirements. As deliveries lengthen and prices increase, it makes today’s manufacturers less competitive with the rest of the world. Ritbearing looks to provide products in a timely fashion, without sacrificing quality, and improve price.
