The company has implemented a new classification for select products that can be delivered within an accelerated timeframe.
How to derate bearings based on load
When significant axial force is applied, the bearing load carrying capability must be adjusted to accommodate this combined load. This is often referred to as derating the bearings.
Roller vs thrust bearings
Most roller bearings can tolerate a slight side load of about 10% the rated load. But if a significant side load is anticipated, it is best to use a bearing which is designed for this condition to begin with.
The mining of old sports car names for new SUVs continues with the Dodge Stealth
According to recent reports, Dodge intends to resurrect the Stealth name sometime next year for a Durango replacement.
