The tapered roller bearing is particularly used in automotive applications and heavy machinery. Here are some illustrations of this type of bearing.                                     Features of tapered roller bearing The tapered roller bearing consists of an inner ring, an outer ring, tapered … Read more

We must go back to 1913 to witness the birth of stainless steel as we know it today. Discovered by an English engineer during tests to reduce the wear of steel, stainless steel has revolutionized the way to manufacture mechanical parts. Today, this material stands out as one of the most reliable thanks to its … Read more

A technology that has evolved Rolling is a concept that goes back thousands of years. Although it is not possible to qualify them as industrial mechanical parts, the first rolling prototypes were already based on the same present principle, which is the reduction of friction. In ancient Egypt, the workers used to roll wooden logs … Read more

Gestion Industrielle RB (GRB), is a company that imports and supplies industrial mechanical parts exclusively to distributors and original equipment manufacturers (OEM). We have established a trusting partnership with our customers for the simple fact that we do not solicit their customers. GRB does not sell to factories that do not manufacture industrial machinery, such … Read more

The roller bearing is a preferred choice for industries that have heavy equipment loads. In addition to being very robust, this type of bearing is manufactured in several models for specific applications. Before making a choice, we invite you to take note of the characteristics of different types of roller bearings. 1. Cylindrical roller bearing … Read more

Essentially, the bearing is the member interposed between the housing and the shaft of the rotating mechanical system, intended to substitute rolling friction for sliding friction. Ball bearings are the most common type of bearing used in an industrial environment. 1. Rigid ball bearings They can permit a very minimal misalignment but tolerate only moderate … Read more

The function of a bearing is to guide a rotation assembly, thus allowing one part to rotate relative to another. However, it is important to pay attention to certain elements that can influence the mechanism and cause malfunction. Corrosion By being exposed to elements such as water or corrosive agents, the lubricant inside the ball … Read more

Spherical ball bearings are composed of a convex spheroidal inner ring and an outer ring with a corresponding spheroidal concave surface in its inner surface. The bearing is an assembly that serves as a link between a shaft and its housing, allowing tilting or oscillating movements. The rings undergo a phosphating treatment and a molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) … Read more

The needle bearing has some unique features that distinguish it from other types. They are very wide and are able to withstand high axial loads where the space between the shaft and its housing is restricted. The needle bearing is therefore particularly useful in applications having restricted overall dimensions. The main types of needle bearings … Read more

The primary use of a bearing is to allow one part to rotate relative to another according to a defined axis of rotation. Although bearings, when their type and rating have been carefully evaluated, have a long service life, their destruction can cause catastrophic damage to the equipment on which they are installed. 1. Incorrect … Read more
