Bearing Research & Development

Miba Industrial Bearings employs a global team of highly qualified engineers in the area of research and development. They belong to six locations on three continents and deal with an extreme variety of customer problems, applications, and specifications. Incorporating and integrating this diverse wealth of experience into our R&D work is a very unique benefit that our customers value.

Simulation & Analysis

Our (in-house) calculation programs are able to simulate the bearing operation and visualize the flow, deformation or stress behavior. In this way, we can analyze product designs and also clarify difficult customer questions in advance. Finite Element Method (FEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools are an indispensable addition to our test benches in order to guarantee you the best technical solution.

Eddy Grooves

NEW INNOVATION

A bearing pad design feature for higher performance that disturbs the laminar lubricant flow and creates a cooling effect by mixing cooler oil near the shaft with warmer oil near the bearing surface.

Test Stands

Since 2013, two bearing test benches for radial bearings have been in heavy use at the Göttingen site for conducting experiments and trial series aimed at improving performance, efficiency and operational safety. The focus is currently on improving the performance of bearings.The test bench configuration makes it possible to examine bearings in a wide range of 0–140 m/s circumferential speed (<25,000 rpm) at specific static loads of up to 10 MPa (max. static load: 63 kN) and dynamic loads of up to 5 kN.

With this consent, I also agree to the analysis of electronic notifications through individual measurement, storage and evaluation of opening rates and click rates in recipient profiles for the purpose of designing future mailings according to the interests of the readers. I have read the detailed information on newsletters and electronic notifications. You have the right to revoke this consent at any time in the future. Please send any notifications in this regard by e-mail to mibg_sales(at)miba.com or by post to Bearings Beteiligungsverwaltung GmbH, Feichtinger, Dr.-Mitterbauer-Str. 3, 4663 Laakirchen, Austria.

Further information on newsletters and electronic notificationsWe send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications (hereinafter 'electronic notifications') only with the consent of the recipients or a legal permission.Request for the white paper: Orders for the white paper are logged in order to be able to prove them in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of order and your IP address. The logging of the request is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art 6 Para 1 lit f DSGVO) for the purposes of proving proper processing. Registration procedure: Registrations for electronic notifications are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration, the time of confirmation and your IP address. Changes to your data stored with the dispatch service provider are also logged. The logging of the registration process is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art 6 para 1 lit f DSGVO) for the purpose of proving a proper process. Insofar as we commission a service provider to send e-mails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art 6 para 1 lit f DSGVO) in an efficient and secure sending system.Analysis of electronic notifications: For this purpose, the electronic notifications contain a so-called 'web beacon', i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the server of the dispatch service provider when the notification is opened. In the course of this retrieval, technical information such as information on the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the retrieval, are collected. This information is used to improve our mailings on the basis of the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour on the basis of their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times. This analysis also includes determining whether the notifications are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. This information is assigned to the individual recipients and stored in their profiles until they are deleted. We use the analyses to identify the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to their interests. No such analysis is carried out in the case of the e-mail in which the whitepaper offered is sent.Deletion and restriction of processing: We may store the e-mail addresses for up to three years after revocation on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art 6 para 1 lit f DSGVO) before deleting them in order to be able to prove consent previously given. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defence against claims. An individual request for deletion is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of consent is confirmed at the same time.
