GMN spindle ball bearings are now also available in the high-precision accuracy classes P4+ and UP+. The new P4+ class is gradually replacing the previous DIN P4 and ABEC 7 accuracy classes, while the new "ultra precision" UP+ premium accuracy class is also available.

100 years of rolling bearing technology
The list of rolling bearing types used in drive technology is long and the requirements are high. The manufacturer Findling Wälzlager, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, has over 22,000 different bearing types in its range and also manufactures special solutions.

The majority of multi-purpose greases are based on lithium. Rhenus Lub has now developed the calcium-based grease rhenus CMN 2, which is characterized by equivalent performance and quality properties, but is independent of possible price increases of the material lithium.
Practical application experience shows that it is possible for the user to select the correct type of rolling bearing using the documentation and tools provided by the manufacturer and on the basis of comparable applications.

Nord's Maxxdrive industrial gearboxes are suitable for use in heavy-duty applications. The company is now introducing the new Maxxdrive XT series, which complements the modular system for applications with high thermal limit powers.

Industry 4.0 applications require complex networking and enable intelligent data analysis for greater efficiency. Schaeffler has fully integrated these requirements and possibilities into the new generation of its multi-channel condition monitoring system.
Nord Drivesystems is presenting three new products in Hanover: A new generation of industrial gearboxes optimized for high thermal power limits, new frequency inverters and a maintenance solution.
By switching to molded oil housing bearings, a beverage manufacturer was able to drastically reduce the premature failure of roller bearings on conveyor systems. The service life of the bearings has been extended as a result, and the user is saving more than 5,000 euros per year.
Rolling bearings for belt conveyors. Belt conveyors can move large quantities of material reliably and quickly and are indispensable in many industrial applications.
