Lancaster, PA – Product designers or engineers who specify bearings in their products have a new resource to help avoid costly mistakes thanks to National Bearings Company. The Bearing Selection Tip Sheet identifies considerations that many product designers inadvertently overlook when specifying a bearing early in the design process.
“We have identified a number of ways product designers can eliminate unnecessary costs,” stated Mark Bos, Vice President, at National Bearings Company.
This informative tip sheet is designed to guide product engineers as they make important decisions regarding the bearings they use in their designs. Standard bearings can sometimes be surprisingly too expensive, needlessly complex, or oversized for many applications.
“With an eye on cost containment,” Bos explained, “we hope to assist product designers in considering the critical issues of over-complexity, material choice, right-sizing, and right-fit, when specifying bearings for their applications.”
Product designers in a range of industries are encouraged to download the Bearing Selection Tip Sheet before starting a project. Choosing the right bearing can help reduce total product costs, speed time to market, and improve product performance.
