  2. False brinelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_brinelling

    A major maintenance problem are the pitch bearings in wind turbines, for which specialty greases had to be developed that result in almost no false brinelling damage. [ 19 ] [ 20 ] Similar damage may also occur in electric and electronic contacts that are subjected to vibrations during use, think of aerospace and automotive connectors and even ...

  3. Rolling contact fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_contact_fatigue

    Overview of bearing components, including bearing element and inner ring [1] Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF) is a phenomenon that occurs in mechanical components relating to rolling/sliding contact, such as railways, gears, and bearings. [2] It is the result of the process of fatigue due to rolling/sliding contact.

  4. Fretting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fretting

    Different areas of typical false brinelling and fretting corrosion damage in a ball bearing. In rolling element bearings fretting may occur when the bearings are operating in an oscillating motion. Examples of applications are blade bearings in wind turbines, helicopter rotor pitch bearings, and bearings in robots.

  5. Rolling resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_resistance

    Figure 1 Hard wheel rolling on and deforming a soft surface, resulting in the reaction force R from the surface having a component that opposes the motion. (W is some vertical load on the axle, F is some towing force applied to the axle, r is the wheel radius, and both friction with the ground and friction at the axle are assumed to be negligible and so are not shown.

    Kobalt is a line of hand and mechanics' tools, power tools, and tool storage products owned by the American home improvement chain Lowe's. It is the house brand for both Lowe's in North America and their joint venture with the now defunct Masters Home Improvement in Australia .

  7. Rolling-element bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling-element_bearing

    Rolling-element bearings often work well in non-ideal conditions, but sometimes minor problems cause bearings to fail quickly and mysteriously. For example, with a stationary (non-rotating) load, small vibrations can gradually press out the lubricant between the races and rollers or balls (false brinelling). Without lubricant the bearing fails ...

  8. Zero-turn mower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-turn_mower

    A commercial zero-turn lawn mower with two pivoting front wheels. A zero-turn riding lawn mower (colloquially, a z-turn or zero turn) is a standard riding lawn mower with a turning radius that is effectively zero when the two drive wheels rotate in opposite direction, like a tank turning in place.
