Pelamis’ first wave energy converter (P1) was a simpler design with
separated hinged joints. Although this arrangement allowed useful working space
between the axes, it had to carry high transferred loads and was unable to
manage the combined motions needed for the P2 configuration. Also, the bearings
themselves were relatively Low friction bearings,
affecting efficiency.
Are you aware there are different types of bearings? It's true. You'll find
most of these types in your car's various systems. See, the word "bearing"
usually refers to a component that reduces friction. However, different types of
machinery require different types of bearings. One of these bearings is the Low
friction bearings. Unlike antifriction bearings, friction bearings don't have
sliding nor moving parts. Rather, this type of bearing has a fixed, non-moving
surface. It's also typically made up of machined-metal or pressed-in bushing.
Now when it comes to your car, this fag bearing's
soft consistency prevents foreign matter from spreading in the engine.
But how can you secure a spinning shaft? In the early days, up to 14 large
metal collars containing 'thrust bearings' were placed along the propeller shaft
to attach it to the hull. Unfortunately these overheated because of friction
between the shaft, the bearing and the collar.
The bearing's advantages of small size, low friction and long life were
particularly important for the new turbine powered ships, and the war saw a huge
increase in the number of ships using Michell bearings. Since then, they have
become the standard koyo bearing used on
turbine shafts in ships and power plants everywhere.
Eco-friendliness is a modern way to describe any equipment that makes the
attempt to leave the environment untouched or unharmed. In regard to commercial
vehicles, it can be an innovative mechanical feature that is trying to cut fuel
consumption, decrease carbon dioxide emission and significantly improve overall
engine performance. Carbon dioxide emissions have drastically increased due to
human activity. In response to this environmental problem, the automotive
industry and some engineering companies have designed and introduced
eco-friendly utility equipment such as hybrid vehicles. These innovative
vehicles can lead the way in terms of cost-effectiveness with the contribution
to the cause of lower oil consumption and longer vehicle mileage.
"low
friction bearings" were created to withstand high loads, help to save fuel,
offer optimum shock resistance and smooth operation, be stable and be easy to
maintain. SKF is the largest manufacturer of these rolling-element devices in
the world and continuously produces efficient designs with superior quality
products that will not compromise environmental sustainability.
