 We produce some of the cleanest, highest-quality steels for the most demanding applications. And, clean steel means more reliable finished products and that reduces downtime and energy consumption.  Lighter and thinner than their standard counterparts while just as strong, these bearings help improve fuel economy and increase reliability.  Our products help make wind energy more reliable and competitive. Those include the Planet Pac bearing, Flex Drive, mechanical tubing for planetary gear rings, advanced analysis for wind applications and other bearing and transmission components for wind power systems.  Traversing higher speeds with less friction reduces energy consumption in machine tool applications.  Tapered and cylindrical bearings in the main shaft position of an aircraft engine reduce the number of components needed. Lighter aircraft mean greater fuel efficiency.  Two innovations in rail technology contribute to a more energy efficient rail system: AP-2™ bearing with EcoTurn™ seal and TrackGlide® top-of-rail friction modifier.  Sets feature highly engineered raceway profiles and enhanced finishes for efficient performance.  Providing accurate speed, position, direction and torque are vital pieces of information to maximize the efficiency of a variety of vehicle and industrial control systems.  These bearings can extend vehicle system life by managing the higher torque levels generated within smaller design envelopes ... and that boosts fuel economy and reduces emissions.  These products offer many benefits from improved fuel economy to reduced weight, noise and temperature. |
