Common uses of bearings
Here are some of the top industries in Texas and their common uses of bearings:
Agriculture
In this industry, the primary uses of bearings can be found in the machinery used to maintain their land.
Some common examples of machines using bearings are the tillering and harvesting equipment, as well as the planters, mowers, rakes, and disc harrows.
Aeronautics
For all types of air and space crafts, each uses special bearings and other power transmission products to function. Equipment used in a helicopter, may not apply to a jet. An example of one such bearing is the jet shaft bearings that have to withstand temperatures of 200 ° C and -55 ° C, as well as high speeds. Other bearings used are propeller shank bearings and auxiliary bearings.
