Plastic Bearing Case Studies
BNL has provided effective engineering solutions in many different industries and for a variety of applications.
Here are a small selection of case studies covering our work and abilities.
Clever Integration Saves Time & Money
When BNL was commissioned by an access and video control specialist to design pan and tilt bearings for the company’s new surveillance dome, the end result was a complex, custom-designed, lighter and less expensive complete sub-assembly.
Fully Moulded Plastic Bearings Promise Longer Life
BNL’s unique technology and design expertise resulted in plastic ball bearings that delivered exceptional wear rates for a roof turbine manufacturer.
Ultra-low Profile Plastic Bearings Resolve Friction Problems
The design flexibility of thermoplastics together with BNL's intelligent use of
injection moulding technology, solved a last-minute hitch in the development of a state-of-the-art mobile satellite TV antenna system.
Plastic Bearings Significantly Improve Performance
A BNL custom-designed plastic bearing resolved distortion and disassembly
problems as well as increasing load bearing capabilities for a mobile satellite
antenna.
Superior Performance of Plastic Bearings in Volatile Environments
The natural lubricity together with the chemical, corrosion and high temperature resistant properties of thermoplastics, has resulted in a series of precision bearings for use in the manufacture of LCD glass.
More information on the different types of applications where BNL's plastic bearing technology has been of benefit is available in our Applications pages and in our Technology pages.
