The machine tool sector is of strategic importance to the manufacturing industry. With focus on efficiency, realisation of production potential, and sustainability, the optimisation of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) has become more important than ever before. Bearings and lubrication solutions play an essential role throughout motion systems, whether in the motor, the encoder, the actuator, or elsewhere.
Bearings provide support and stability while converting sliding friction into rolling friction, allowing the system to position the load with less torque and increased speed. Selection of the right bearing can reduce power consumption, increase system lifetime, and enhance overall system performance. Smart lubrication systems, on the other hand, ensure that machine uptime isn’t a concern by protecting bearings in harsh operating conditions.
