During September Koyo (UK) Ltd took part in a customer trade fair for our distribution partner ‘Cromwell’.

Having grown in importance as a key occasion in the business calendar, the bi-annual Event organised by Cromwell made a welcome return to Donington Park on September 17th and 18th, attracting one hundred and thirty exhibitors and two and a half thousand visitors. Read more

The buzz around the Donington Park Exhibition Hall throughout the two days was amazing as visitors milled around the stands, checking out the latest products and demonstrations. Other attractions included a ride in a helicopter or a turn around the Donington race circuit, as well as seminars delivered by the likes of Lloyds Bank, Aston Martin and the CBI (Confederation of British Industry)..

The Event was officially opened by the Mayor of Leicester, Sir Peter Soulsby, and the exhibitors included internationally renowned companies, ranging from 3M to Bosch and Sandvik Coromant. At the heart of the exhibition space, Cromwell had a ‘village’ of stands covering its core range of product categories, as well as its wide range of support services from Calibration to Corporate Clothing and Inventory Management.

The verdict on the two days was overwhelmingly positive with everyone full of praise for the way the Event had been organised and all the attractions on offer. “Thank you for a fantastic show” and “one of the best trade shows we have done in years” were just some of the comments made by visitors and exhibitors alike. And believe it or not, some people are already keeping their diaries free for September 2016 when the next Event is due to take place.

Bearing 3D
FAQ

What is an angular contact ball bearing?

An angular contact ball bearing uses axially asymmetric races. An axial load passes in a straight line through the bearing, whereas a radial load takes an oblique path that tends to want to separate the races axially. So the angle of contact on the inner race is the same as that on the outer race. Angular contact bearings better support "combined loads" (loading in both the radial and axial directions) and the contact angle of the bearing should be matched to the relative proportions of each. The larger the contact angle (typically in the range 10 to 45 degrees), the higher the axial load supported, but the lower the radial load. In high speed applications, such as turbines, jet engines, and dentistry equipment, the centrifugal forces generated by the balls changes the contact angle at the inner and outer race. Ceramics such as silicon nitride are now regularly used in such applications due to their low density (40% of steel). These materials significantly reduce centrifugal force and function well in high temperature environments. They also tend to wear in a similar way to bearing steel—rather than cracking or shattering like glass or porcelain.

Most bicycles use angular-contact bearings in the headsets because the forces on these bearings are in both the radial and axial direction.
