Ball Bearings as Applied to Woodworking Machinery
H. E. BrunnerAbstract
Anti-friction bearings have come into general use in all classes of woodworking machinery. Their adoption has been largely influenced by the trend to higher operating speeds and increased production. Considerable study and effort have been expended in developing the details for application of ball and roller bearings to the various types of equipment. The principles underlying the practice which is now generally followed are brought out by descriptions of actual bearing installations. Special considerations entering into the design and manufacture of bearings for this field are discussed. The question of lubrication, important from the point of view of the machinery operator, is considered, and requirements of lubrication peculiar to anti-friction bearings are discussed in detail.
