Emerson Bearing's Engineering Seminars are held on-site for a company's employees. A senior field service engineer from the factory that Emerson Bearing Boston represents will educate staff about bearings and related parts.
Most recently, Emerson Bearing Boston spoke at Schnitzer Northeast in Everett, which is the metals recycling yard, port and regional office of Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc., a leading global metal recycler.
"Our engineering seminars are designed to educate clients about bearings and related parts required for their machinery which manufactures, processes or recycles products," noted Steve Katz, president.
Bearings often operate in unique performance conditions such as dirty and biohazardous environments, extremely hot/cold temperatures and environments where chemicals, radiation, speed/velocity and size play a major role. Emerson Bearing's experts educate clients about the factors involved in the smooth operation of bearings and ultimately in the prevention of premature bearing failure.
“A dry dirty environment is typically an environment that generates some kind of dust. A wet dirty environment often involves water or a chemical that emulsifies with the oil (bearing lubricant), which causes the bearing to fail. To give you an example, worn seals on linear bearings that are used in a dirty environment will enable contamination. Even with the best design, lubrication and installation, bearing failure will occur if the operating environment is not taken into consideration,” explained Steve Katz, Emerson Bearing's president. "Ideally, our engineering seminars will help companies eliminate the guesswork; avoid costly downtime and ensure maximum operational efficiency."
