NSK bearings help bakery save €9400 per annum
A large bakery has replaced the type of bearings used in its cake-cutting
machines after experiencing repeat failures on the integral blade saw pulleys. The
switch to NSK Molded-Oil bearings immediately reduced maintenance costs and
increased productivity, leading to total savings of approximately €9400 a year.
NSK´s Molded-Oil bearings (stainless steel variant) are ideal for applications in
food and beverage plants. Not only do they prevent the ingress of contaminants
such as water and particulates, but no lubricant can escape the bearing and enter
other parts of the machine, where it could conceivably contact food. Molded-Oil
bearings are equipped with a proprietary oil-impregnated material that consists
of lubricating oil and a polyolefin resin with an affinity for oil. This carrier material
releases the lubricant continuously over a long period.

Cost effective fail safe power off
brake for e-parking
SG Transmission has developed
a 40 mm diameter static holding
brake (12Volt DC, 0.6Nm Torque)
for a German automotive
customer as a parking brake
with fail safe power-off braking.
The approach is a fully
automated production process
with single part feed, including
an air gap pre-set during the
manufacture process with
reduced part count for simpler
assembly.
The electrical connection is with
integrated terminals.
The spring applied brake has
been optimised to:
- reduce complexity of parts
- reduce manual handling
- reduce cost
- cover high quantity needs of
over 100,000 pieces per year
