Very impressive vehicle. While it was a wonderful day with all the activity, it felt good when it was over. The turnout was wondferful. Thank you to all that stopped by, and thank you to the Koyo representative and driver!
Until next time!!!
An impressive show of technology on wheels is parked in our parking lot today. KTV Truck (Koyo Training Vehicle) on the inside is as impressive as it is on the outside. The gentleman enjoying the coffee is Mr Cox, VP of Bearings Incorporated, and movtivator to bring the truck to our facilities at Bearings Incorporated.
Koyo will be stopping by with it’s KTV on September 28th from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, and open to Bearings Incorporated past, present and future customers.Needle Roller Bearings
Needle roller bearings are an economical alternative for applications requiring minimal space to carry a given load at a desired speed. Needle roller bearings can be an ideal choice because of their ability to handle a given level of speed and load capacity, yet have the smallest cross section of all roller bearing types.
We offer both inch and metric nominal bearings in popular designs such as: drawn cups, radial caged needle rollers, machined ring, track rollers, thrust bearings, combined bearings, and drawn cup roller clutches. Most of these bearing types can be operated directly on a machined shaft of suitable quality, or with a matching inner ring where this requirement cannot be conventionally satisfied.
Radial Needle Roller and Cage Assemblies
Radial needle roller and cage assemblies have a steel cage that provides both inward and outward retention for the needle rollers. The designs provide maximum cage strength consistent with the inherently high load ratings of needle roller bearings. Accurate guidance of the needle rollers by the cage bars allows for operation at high speeds. Also available are needle roller and cage assemblies using molded, one-piece glass-reinforced engineered polymer cages. Needle roller and cage assemblies are manufactured with either one or two rows of needle rollers.
Drawn Cup Bearings
The outer ring in the form of a cup is accurately drawn and no subsequent machining is performed to build the outer raceway. Drawn cup needle roller bearings are available in open ends or single, closed-end designs, They also are available with one or two integral seals. Other options include a single lubricating hole and matching inner ring.
Heavy-Duty (Machined) Needle Roller Bearings
These bearings are available in a wide range of inch and metric sizes plus an array of design features including: integral seals, side flanges (or separate end washers), inner rings, oil holes and single or double caged sets (or full complement) of rollers.
Track Rollers
Track rollers listed in this catalog are designed with outer rings of large radial cross section to withstand heavy rolling and shock loads on track-type or cam-controlled equipment. The outside diameters of the outer rings are either profiled or cylindrical, Profiled track rollers are designed to alleviate uneven bearing loading resulting from deflection, bending or misalignment in mounting. Stud-type track rollers are available with or without lip contact seals, or with shields. Yoke-type track rollers are designed for straddle mounting. Each yoke-type is available with either radial needle roller and cage assemblies, or with a single (or double) full complement row of cylindrical or needle rollers.
Thrust Bearings
Thrust needle roller and cage assemblies are available in a variety of inch or metric sizes. All types have very small cross sections. If the back up surfaces cannot be used as raceways, hardened washers are available. Thrust bearings are available with needle rollers or heavier cylindrical rollers for high load-carrying capacity.
Combined (Radial and Thrust) Bearings
Combined bearings consist of a radial bearing (needle roller bearing) and a thrust bearing (ball or roller bearing). Some combined bearings are constructed similar to drawn cups, but with an added thrust bearing component. Like other needle roller bearings, these combined bearings can be matched with an optional inner ring or thrust washer as the opposing raceway.
Koyo BMT 39 - Bearing Mounting Tools
Practical Mechanical mounting set for safe, precise and quick mounting of bearings, bushings, sealing rings, cam wheels and pulleys. The set consists of a dead-blow hammer, 3 aluminum sleeves and a set of 39 plastic collets (rings).
The impact resistant plastic collets support the inner and outer rings when mounting, preventing metal to metal contact and possible damage to the bearing rings and shaft.
JTEKT Corporation is the result of the merge of Koyo Seiko Company Ltd, and Toyoda Machine Works Ltd on January 1, 2006, home based in Chuo-Ku, Osaka, Japan.
JTEKT Corporation has created a new business unit, Koyo Bearings USA LLC, following the acquisition of the Timken Company’s Needle Roller Bearings business. The acquisition combines the strength, heritage and intellectual capital of Koyo and Torrington Needle Roller Bearings to create one of the world’s largest needle roller bearing manufacturers.
Koyo Bearings will manufacture needle roller bearings under theKoyo Torrington Needle Roller Bearings brand, which features an extensive range of radial and thrust needle roller bearings, as well as bearing assemblies and loose needles for automotive and industrial applications.
KoyoUSA site has the most recent Earthquake/Tsunami update dated March 28, 2011, with promising regular updates. Thankfully, it appears as if deliveries and production out of Japan will not be affected.
Tapered roller bearings are designed such that the outer ring, inner ring and rollers have tapered surfaces whose apexes converge at a common point on the bearing axis. Among with metric series bearings, inch series bearings are also available.
This type of bearing is suitable for application that involve heavy or impact loading.
Able to carry radial and axial load in one direction simultaneously.
Because an axial component of force is produced when this type of bearing is loaded radially, two bearings are used together facing one another, or two or more bearings are matched and used.
There are the standard, medium and steep type which are different in contact angle size.
Medium-tapered metric series bearings are identified by the supplementary code “D” which is added as a suffix to bearing numbers.
Bearings whose outer ring width, outer ring small inside diameter and contact angle are determined in accordance with ISO 355 specifications are identified by the supplementary code “J” as a suffix.
Inner ring assemblies and the outer rings of such bearings are interchangeable with those of bearings produced abroad if the bearing numbers are the same.
These bearings are divided into the TDO type which has one double outer ring and two single-row inner rings and the TDI type which has two single row outer rings and one double inner ring. Both accommodate radial and axial loading in both directions.
These two also carry moment loads, however, the TDO type is superior to the TDI type because the distance between load centers is longer in the TDO type.
The spacer of the TDO type, or the TDI type, pre-adjusts the internal clearance to provide proper operating clearance after mounting.
TDO (Tapered Double Outer) = double cup, two single-cone assemblies and are supplied with a shaft supported cone spacer unless otherwise specified. Spacers for individual bearings are face ground to obtain the desired internal clearance for the assembly. Spacers and components may not be interchanged. In bearing type TDO, the contact angles diverge as they approach the axis of rotation, thus increasing the rigidity of the shaft mounting. These bearings are therefore, best suited for resisting overturning moments. Due to increasing bearing rigidity, housing bore alignment is somewhat more critical than the TDI type. TDI (Tapered Double Inner) = double cone assembly tow single cups, and is supplied with a cup spacer unless otherwise specified. The design of type TDI is such that the contact angles converge as they approach the axis of rotation. Consequently, the use of these bearings will not appreciably increase the rigidity of the shaft mounting and they should not be used singly on a shaft since they will not resist overturning moments.Currently, as bearing design has become diversified, their application range is being increasingly extended. In order to elect the most suitable bearings for an application, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive study on both bearings and the equipment in which the bearings will be installed, including operating conditions, the performance required of the bearings, specifications of the other components to be installed along with the bearings, marketability, and cost performance, etc.
In selecting bearings, since the shaft diameter is usually determined beforehand, the prospective bearing type is chosen based upon installation space, intended arrangement, and according to the bore diameter required.
Next, from the bearing specifications are determined the service life required when compared to that of the equipment in which it is used, along with a calculation of the actual service life from operational loads.
Internal specification including bearing accuracy, internal clearance, cage and lubricant are also selected, depending on the application.

Help — I’ve fallen and can’t get up.
Now that I’ve used the allotment of cliches where do I go from here. Even the best of us run into brain blocks, and I’m no exception. I have been doing research, and working hard learning the background information for the new website, www.bearingsinc.net that is soon to be launched. I know “you’ve heard this all before”, but be assured that it is close to launch date, and it will change consistently once it is launched. We want to make it better and easier for you to use.
Right now, I have uploaded “most” of our Timken line; which is our biggest line. This consists of both ball and roller bearings. Ball bearings consisting of Angular contact, Wide inner ring, and Housed units. Roller bearings consisting of the Tapered Roller Bearings Cups, cones, and sets that Timken has always been famous for.
I have also uploaded our Koyo Ball bearing line, which could offer some of the same parts as Timken. We also have SKF-Chicago Rawhide currently uploaded which offers seals, and speedi sleeves.
In my plans, and my next uploading attempts consist of Koyo NEEDLE bearing line, and MBL (Mitsuboshi) belts. These will cover quite a bit of items we can currently offer, but you need to watch the sight because once it’s launched, I will be configuring other databases to upload. This way it will keep the sight changing, and interesting.
New items = new choices = more options
While I’m not making any promises of a launch date; keep in touch and help us celebrate our launch when all of our hard work has finally come to an end.
