Olean, New York, USA (PRWEB) September 06, 2014
The ISO9001:2008 and AS9100C certified Napoleon Engineering Services (NES) (http://www.nesbearings.com) right now announced that it will be showcasing its custom bearing manufacturing, bearing testing, bearing inspection and bearing test rig manufacturing capabilities at the forthcoming International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS 2014), September 8-13 in Chicago, Illinois.

Held as soon as every two years at McCormick Place, IMTS is one particular of the world’s largest industrial tradeshows, covering bearings, motors, drives, machine tools, controls, computer systems, application, elements, systems and processes. Historically, the show has attracted 1,900 exclusive exhibitors and one hundred,000 guests from around the globe. NES representatives at Booth E-5803 will be obtainable throughout IMTS 2014 to discuss the company’s newest bearing item and service offerings, such as:

Custom Bearing Manufacturing:
NES designs and manufactures high-precision custom ball and roller bearings utilizing superelastic Ni-Ti alloys wear-resistant, higher-life materials and coatings and advanced design and style technologies, in each modest and huge quantities, with competitive lead occasions. Key specialty locations of NES custom bearing manufacturing incorporate:

> Active magnetic backup bearings for active magnetic bearing (AMB) systems. Here, the custom bearings serve as a higher-reliability secondary failsafe program for a principal AMB inside energy generation, petroleum refining, machine tooling, organic gas pipeline, and essential industrial applications. When making use of AMB to help a rotating shaft, any reduction or loss of power could cause the shaft to drop. With an AMB back-up bearing technique, the shaft will drop .002” to .003” onto the back-up bearing technique itself, permitting it to coast to a cease without having causing damage to the shaft or surrounding machinery.

With offered sizes from 1” to 14” OD, NES AMB back-up bearings incorporate wear-resistant materials, conventional or dry film lubricants, and a variety of cage and internal design and style qualities. All of these combine to assist handle the safe coast down of the rotating shaft. Depending upon application loads, full ball complement or caged bearing designs are specified. Some applications demand much more extreme design and style considerations, like unique heat treatment processes, yielding very stable components with extremely low residual tension. Other requirements let for hugely modified common bearings with very brief consumer lead occasions.

> Aerospace custom bearing manufacturing – Aerospace bearing manufacturing usually demands the use of superior top quality raw materials the incorporation of in depth design and project review processes and help for any necessary material or approach traceability. To meet these demands, NES gives complete design, development and manufacturing of custom high-precision aerospace ball and roller bearings, as well as custom bearing modification. The manufacturing approach contains close collaboration with an aerospace OEM’s personal in-house engineering team, with full project management help from initial concept thru to final delivery. Standard specifications variety from all stainless steel complete complement bearings to M50 lengthy life angular contact ball bearings to superelastic Ni-Ti alloy styles which incorporate put on and corrosion-resistant, high-life supplies and coatings. Supported applications contain satellite and UAV and satellite arm actuation, antennas, fuel pumps, ram air turbines, transmission systems, turbine engines, and rocket engine valves. Expedited lead times are available upon request.

> Corrosion resistant ceramic hybrid bearings – Common bearings that are specified for oscillating applications are prone to concentrated, magnified and accelerated put on on bearing rolling components and raceways, since the oscillatory motion isolates bearing pressure into localized areas and creates lubricant trapping. For higher speed and oscillatory applications, NES manufactures a variety of ceramic hybrid bearing sizes and types, incorporating specialty materials and coatings.

NES custom ceramic hybrid bearings incorporate a silicon nitride material for reduced weight. This reduces the applied loads brought on by centrifugal forces, with higher stiffness and reduced frictional characteristics. The material also reduces heat generation and decreases operating temperatures. Silicon nitride bearings have superb corrosion resistance for extended life. They also supply a decrease thermal expansion coefficient, as compared to steel, for decreased thermal gradient effects across the bearing. For reliable operation inside very acidic environments, these corrosion-resistant bearings can run efficiently in marginally lubricated applications at both higher and low speeds, generating them appropriate for demanding manufacturing and vacuum method environments, as properly as for use inside corrosive saltwater and wash-down applications.

Bearing Modification:
NES also provides custom OEM bearing modifications to aid meet certain application specifications. Bearing modification can be a time and cost savings option for a lot of OEM’s. Some of the far more common modifications supported by NES consist of re-greasing, preload and endplay grinding, radial clearance alterations, tapered roller bearing spacers, anti-rotation slots, oil holes and grooves, and tapered bore grinding.

Bearing Test Rig Manufacturing:
NES custom bearing test rigs assistance OEM aerospace, automotive, off-highway and industrial automation R&D requirements. The in-property capability for an OEM to execute its own rigorous bearing testing, through the use of its own rig, can reduce time-to-industry and lead to new advancements in the OEM’s own mechanical bearing elements and completed product technologies. NES can design and manufacture custom rigs for the testing of any sized ball or roller bearing, like four-ball and NASA five-ball rolling element testing. NES’s own in-residence testing programs concentrate on three primary aspects of testing life (dynamic), environmental, and influence/static testing. This expertise is carried over into the design and style and improvement of the customer’s own robust bearing test rigs.

Customers can choose from a assortment of test platforms and manage alternatives, in help of classical, sudden death, or maximum likelihood bearing test methodologies. NES engineers are offered to evaluate customer intentions for bearing testing and to create a 3D model and manage selection proposal for consumer review of a prototype.

Bearing test rigs can be constructed to test for any quantity of parameters, including bearing or lubrication efficiency, rolling get in touch with fatigue, environmental situations, application reliability, or supplier comparison. They can also be designed with manual controls for continual operating parameters or with complete automation for step-pressure duty-cycle testing. Frequent monitoring and handle attributes contain bearing vibration, temperature, torque, rotational speed, applied load (axial, radial or moment), lubricant flow price, oil inlet temperature, and thermal operating conditions. Test platforms can be made with as several as eight test places to maximize sampling rates and statistical accuracy, whilst nevertheless minimizing test time and overall spending budget.

Bearing Inspection and Bearing Testing Services:
In addition to the aforementioned capabilities, the Olean, New York-primarily based NES is also property to North America’s largest independent bearing inspection and bearing testing facility. This includes over 40 bearing test rigs. In-laboratory capabilities include bearing failure evaluation and metallurgical testing bearing stress evaluation, such as supply qualification inspection (SQI) environmental testing RCF and dynamic life cycle testing influence and static load testing initial report inspection, per AS9102 and the reverse engineering of aircraft bearings for PMA-FAA Certification requirements.
