Bearing selection for low-speed applications

Low-speed applications present challenges for designers who must specify bearings, just as high-speed applications do. (Uneven wear from intermittent motion, torque uniformity and vibration resistance are a few examples.) A new white paper from Kaydon Bearings, an SKF Group company, looks at the type of bearings typically used in low-speed applications and reviews 10 key performance requirements that designers should consider when specifying them.
