Knowledge Center
Welcome to NHBB's repository for bearing engineering reference information and technical data. We make it available to assist our customers in specifying the right bearing for your new design project.
Engineering Reference
We've organized the engineering reference information related to our products into four broad repositories. The first three sections cover a range of topics related to our precision rolling element and plain bearings and contain detailed information about materials, components, lubrication, load calculations, installation, and more. The fourth selection is linked to the full catalog of airframe control ball bearings. This document includes the engineering tables on all of the AFCB series as well as brief information about the general standards associated with this product family.
