A sprag clutch goes by many names: one-way bearing, insert elements, freewheel clutch, backstopping clutch. Whatever you call it, sprag clutches are a critical mechanical device in many heavy industrial applications. Check out our latest YouTube video where we walk you through how a sprag clutch works – and if you haven’t already, don’t forget to subscribe to our channel for more tutorials & industry insights! 📽 : https://lnkd.in/gwhfRQcT #spragclutch #onewaybearing #onewayclutch #spragclutchbearing #gmn

🛢Did you know that improper lubrication is the #1 cause of bearing failure? That means getting it right is critical to the success & lifespan of your application. But which option is better for you—oil or grease? Read this article & learn the few questions you need to ask yourself about your application to find out! https://lnkd.in/gk-tBdbu #bearinglubrication #precisionbearing #gmn

Today we’re celebrating not only one, but TWO one-year anniversaries of our newest team members!🎉 It's hard to believe it's already been a year since both Bryan Bageant and Kyle Thompson joined our team, but their dedication, hard work, and positive attitudes have made such a difference here at GMN Bearing USA. We couldn't be more grateful to have them on board. Cheers and congrats on this special milestone, Bryan and Kyle! 🥂 #WorkAnniversary #TeamCelebration

💡 Here’s a Sprag Clutch secret you might not know: RPMs should never be an issue. (AND you also don’t have to sacrifice torque!) GMN’s amazing FE 8000 Sprag Clutch is uniquely designed to offer nearly *twice* the torque with no speed limitations! But don’t just take our word for it… See how one company partnered with GMN Bearing USA engineers to eliminate their winch failures with what we lovingly refer to as our “unicorn” clutch. 🦄 https://lnkd.in/g7MTJTm9 #spragclutch #gmn #winch

🌞🌡Is it getting hot in here or is it just us? When the temperatures soar in this boiling Texas heat, it’s probably time to remind y’all about GMN Bearing USA’s Thermal Range Calculator. We offer a FREE, handy, online tool that allows you to punch in a few general parameters about your bearing & application requirements & we’ll spit out the facts. In just a few keystrokes, you can determine how your bearing material, housing & shaft will grow or shrink during operation. Bookmark this FREE tool! https://lnkd.in/g5PvMEv6 

If you find it difficult to remember precision bearing classes, you aren’t alone. In the United States, ABEC standards reign supreme. However, all bearing standards organizations around the world, such as DIN and ISO, work together to creative equivalent bearing tolerances. Here’s your quick cheat sheet on #ABEC, #DIN & #ISO standards & how they relate to one another.

⏲ Here at GMN Bearing USA, we get asked lots of questions & one of the most common is, “What is the life I can expect from this bearing based on my application?” And the answer is, “It’s complicated.” It really depends on your application parameters. But you’re in luck! Our in-house engineers are experts in helping determine this. Through a complex, proprietary GMN software that allows us to plug in a few considerations (speed, temperatures, load, etc.), we can help outline expectations on bearing life, & better yet, find the best bearing for your needs! https://lnkd.in/gutgQN8B Let’s talk today & let us find the best precision bearing for you! #bearinglife #gmn
