Plain bearings are replacing rolling-element bearings in a wide range of products including pumps, wind turbines, and equipment for agriculture and construction. Once it was thought that complex parts required complex rolling-element bearings, but designers are learning that plain bearings’ design simplicity has its advantages. Read More

Steel producers are known for their massive steel plants, many of which feature rolling mill divisions tasked with carrying out the tedious process of transforming cast slabs, blooms, and billets into a myriad of metal products. Read More

Bearing Challenges in the Food & Beverage Industries - The food and beverage industries present unique problems and challenges to bearing manufacturers. Baking 10,000 pies a day, for example, demands automated processes and equipment, including baking pies on a conveyor belt that travels through a 500° furnace. The bearings take a beating from the Read More

This article gives an overview of helpful hints on how to pro-long the life of SST’s Zirconia Oxygen Sensors. The application in which the zirconia oxygen sensor is operating influences the life of the sensor. Read More

Many oxygen sensors have cross sensitivity issues associated with them therefore it is important to know the root cause of the cross sensitivity in order to avoid environments that may pollute your zirconia dioxide oxygen sensor. Read More

The LuminOx family are gaseous state 0-25% optical oxygen sensors developed and manufactured by SST Sensing Ltd. The measurement principle uses the non-depleting principle of luminescence quenching. Read More

A well known issue within the manufacturing industry is the constant need to improve and decrease the amount of waste. This is also known as lean manufacturing or lean production which is defined as a systematic method for waste minimisation within a manufacturing system without sacrificing productivity and eliminating over burden and uneven work Read More
