Antifriction Bearing Handbook: Mounting, Maintenance, Lubrication [With RIV Abacus for Bearing Life Calculations]

"In this "RlV Antifriction Bearing Handbook" we have striven to collect data of interest to technical men, designers and manufacturers. The antifriction bearing, as an essential factor to industrial progress, has gone from strength to strength and found an increasingly wide field of applications: today, it is thought of as an indispensable component, not only in all pieces of mechanical equipment embodying rotating parts, but also in many parts having a reciprocatory or oscillatory motion. That will explain its steady evolution towards specialized forms and types better suited to the peculiar requirements of the most widely differing applications, and warrant the care devoted by RIV to improving to a higher and higher degree the characteristics of its antifriction bearings, so that they may be used by customers with increasing satisfaction."
