Bowman develops new
bearing test machine
Bowman International’s expert team of engineers has developed a
bespoke bearing test machine, providing an in-house facility that
can determine bearing capabilities and provide fault analysis for
plain bearings.
The development of the advanced test machine means Bowman,
which specialises in the manufacture and supply of bearings and
sintered components including the Oilite® and BowMet® ranges,
can test bearings on behalf of customers under their exact
application conditions, with real time test data, remote computer
operation and bearing failure onset shutdown function.
Using the new facility, Bowman can test products with dry and
lubricating running and accommodate a wide range of shaft
diameters. Constant data acquisition of both the test bearing
temperature and torque measurement are also invaluable features.
The
machine
has
been designed to run
automatically and can
sense the onset of
bearing failure, which
triggers an automatic
stop
procedure.
This
enables the failure mode
to be analysed.
