Transmission Bearings

Gearboxes are used for transmitting mechanical power in many industries and are the work horses of manufacturing. With the advancement in materials technology and tribology, along with the availability of constantly increasing computing power, geabox manufacturers are able to produce gearboxes with much higher efficiencies and higher performance densities than ever before. High reliability of a gearbox is critical as a breakdown would have severe consequences and significant downtime. Naturally, the bearings that are used in gearboxes have to match or exceed in performance for this to happen. AEC manufactures bearings for the power transmission industry that can operate with very low friction, low noise, low vibration as well as very high reliability, and provide longer operating life.

A bearing’s primary function is to reduce friction and transmit loads between rotating and stationary components. Additionally, they are used to support and locate shafts. When choosing the type of bearing for a given application, the shaft speed, load conditions, operating temperature, preferred lubricant, and the space available to place the bearing should be considered. AEC not only offers these multi-functional bearings, but understands the factors to be considered when selecting the correct bearings for the application.

AEC bearings provides longer life while avoiding unnecessary downtime from premature bearing failures; thus increasing profitability. AEC has decades of experience in solving problems and quickly manufacture and supply bearings to keep businesses running smoothly and drive performance.
