A newly identified problem with the wheel assemblies on Ottawa's Line 1 LRT vehicles is forcing OC Transpo to reduce the ...

COAL-FIRED POWER plants use gearboxes located on the top of each coal pulverizer to drive the rotating classifier. Rotating classifiers ensure that the coal is of the appropriate size for proper ...

I am so grateful to my friend, Dr. Bo Rollins, for filling in for me these past several weeks while I have been down with back problems. I know you have been blessed as he has done an exceptional job.

Hydropower is among the most mature and reliable renewable energy technologies, but its dependability rests on thousands of tonnes of rotating equipment humming quietly for decades. Generators are at ...

What do clocks, skateboards, and industrial machinery have in common? They all rely on bearings to maintain their smooth rotational movements. However, to achieve reliability, they must be maintained ...

The difference between good and bad in the wheel bearing world is a very fine line — about the width of a couple of human hairs, to be imprecise. That's not much of a margin considering the potential ...

A minor coal train derailment in Virginia in early July prompted Norfolk Southern to rethink the way it responds to problems with overheating bearings, but it’s not clear why the railroad didn’t make ...

Industrial fans are required for many power plants to operate, such as primary and secondary air fans, and induced draft fans. Understanding rotor dynamics is essential for reliable long-term fan ...

There are three important factors forproper bearing installation. First, you should use an arbor press to press-fitthe bearings. This is the most efficient installation method and will preservethe ...
