Wheel bearings may seem like fairly basic components of a large piece of mining equipment, but they must be engineered diligently to accommodate various load and speed combinations during their service life in a vehicle. Every component must withstand the demands of the environment. Sometimes a standard offering will fit a customer's need, but other times a specialty or custom product is a worthwhile investment-the key is finding the right level of performance for the components in the system. A knowledgeable supplier with technical experts who specialize in mining equipment can help. The more application information provided to these bearing specialists, the better, as not all bearings are created equal. The supplier has many different design "levers" to pull, depending on the situation.
