Aerospace bearing heritage from Carter Americas delivers monoball bearing and rod end performance improvements to gain a competitive advantage to win.
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – December 1, 2022 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Precision bearing specialists Carter Americas attendance at the upcoming Performance Racing Industry Trade Show (December 8-10, Booth 7049, Indiana Convention Center) is the perfect opportunity to promote their proven range of motorsport bearings and tools to industry leaders. Their exclusive distribution rights for NMB’s cutting edge E-Type bearings across North and South America gives customers the chance to exploit a competitive edge across all NASCAR and IndyCar applications and other similar motorsport activities.
NMB E-Type bearings are designed to significantly improve performance on motor sport components such as control arms, tie rods and wishbone links by optimizing friction to ensure smooth rotation in all directions. The proprietary E-Type liner increases the maximum bearing operating temperature from 121ºC (249ºF) up to 180ºC (356ºF) and also offers the stiffest PTFE liner which significantly reduces deflection under load and side-to-side movement. Also, their radial load rating is increased by an impressive 35% compared to other ‘standard’ bearing designs.
The critical performance requirements of bearings used in the Motorsport industries are similar to those for Aerospace applications and this is where Carter offers customers the key benefit of extensive experience in supplying both bearings and bearing tools to Aerospace customers around the globe. The key question often asked by customers is “How can we improve our Monoball bearing performance”? a product category which also applies to Spherical Plain Bearings and Rod End Bearings. Other questions are, “How can we increase the lifetime of our spherical plain bearings, optimise bearing torque whilst increasing quality control to ensure that bearing performance is more predictable”?
The first thing to recognize is that the bearing performance is totally dependent on the actual application, so we need to ensure the bearing selected is suitable for the conditions it will be operating in.
Therefore, the design and manufacturing quality is paramount and most bearing manufacturers will offer similar principal dimensions in order to compete, for example; inner and outer diameter and widths. However the internal geometry, tolerances, material quality,…
