The Timken Company - A supply agreement that will increase global sales for KLOZURE oil seals and bearing isolators. [3]Nippon Valqua - A strategic alliance, with Garlock enjoying exclusive sales rights for Nippon Valqua products in the Americas and Nippon Valqua having exclusive sales rights for Garlock products in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
GGB Bearing Technology was formed in 1976 as a joint venture between Garlock Inc., which was established after Olin J. Garlock invented a system for sealing piston rods in industrial steam engines in Palmyra, N.Y. in 1886 [4] or 1887, [5] and Glacier Antifriction Metal Company, which had been founded in 1899. [4]
The isolation can be obtained by the use of various techniques like rubber bearings, friction bearings, ball bearings, spring systems and other means. It is meant to enable a building or non-building structure to survive a potentially devastating seismic impact through a proper initial design or subsequent modifications.
Elastomeric bearing pads, to serve as bridge beam supports heads. An elastomeric bridge bearing, also known as a pot bearing or elastomeric bearing, is a commonly used modern bridge bearing. The term encompasses several different types of bearings including bearing pads, bridge bearings, laminated elastomeric bearings, and seismic isolators ...
These isolators are durable and can withstand extreme environments. They are often used in military applications. [4] [5] Base isolators for seismic isolation of buildings, bridges, etc. Base isolators made of layers of neoprene and steel with a low horizontal stiffness are used to lower the natural frequency of the building.
The enslavement of millions of Indigenous people in the Americas is a neglected chapter in U.S. history. Two projects aim to bring it to light.
2024 was an "exceptionally quiet year" for shark bites around the world, with far fewer bites than usual, according to a new report released Tuesday.
In earthquake engineering, a metallic roller bearing is a base isolation device which is intended for protection of various building and non-building structures against potentially damaging lateral impacts of strong earthquakes. This bearing support may be adapted, with certain precautions, as a seismic isolator to skyscrapers and buildings on ...
