Vesconite Hilube bearings have performed well in prototype testing on the chain pulleys of a waste truck’s ejection system.
This is according to Vesconite Bearings, a manufacturer of low-friction, low-wear bearing materials for a wide range of industries.
The wear-resistant bearings were installed in the running surface of four pulleys, guiding a conveyor chain essential
At Gallagher Seals, we sell many sanitary Tri-Clamp® gaskets to customers each year. They are essential for maintaining product integrity, ensuring a perfect seal, and eliminating risks of contamination. Their main purpose is to seal clamp connections in sanitary pipe lines.
Tri-Clamp® seals consist of two flanged ends, a gasket, and a clamp, which can be tightened

Increased emission restrictions are requiring engine manufacturers to conform to Euro 6 and Tier IV regulations to reduce exhaust leakage 80% or more. In order to achieve these new standards, engines with extreme temperatures
Gaskets have tolerances on their key attributes. The tolerances are dictated by a combination of material characteristics and manufacturing processes. If you want your new gasket to seal properly, it's important to understand how these tolerances work and if they are within your parameters.
Dimensions are often critical for sealing devices. However, unless a gasket goes in a channel, the

Probably the most common cause of O-ring failure is compression set. An effective O-ring seal requires a continuous “seal line” between the sealed surfaces. The establishment of this “seal line” is a
Since 1996 the Garlock family of companies has successfully sealed low load flanges with their Stress Saver® family of products. The molded raised ribs help to create a tighter seal by concentrating the compressive load, ideal for lightweight piping. This blog will examine five stress saver gaskets that are all available on the Gallagher Fluid Seals website.
Temperature ratings are typically published for industrial seals so you know where they can and cannot be used.
Many sealing products have testing standards, allowing manufacturers to publish results for easy product comparison.
However, there is no standard that tells you how to determine minimum and maximum temperatures, so how do companies come up with their ratings? Furthermore, if two suppliers offer the same type of material
Sealing failures aren’t only a major headache, they can be extremely costly when you consider replacement costs, lost production time, wasted product due to the risk of contamination, and the time spent by maintenance staff to find and replace the seal. Unfortunately, this can be a very common issue when you utilize the wrong seal for your equipment. With every application having unique requirements, it can be
