LINK BELT'S NEW BALL AND ROLLER BEARING FACTORY

Abstract

A NEW BALL AND ROLLER BEARING FACTORY recently placed in production at Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.A. by the Link‐Belt Company, is claimed to be one of the most modern plants of its kind in the world. At this new plant electronically‐controlled machine tools maintain tolerances as close as 28 millionths of an inch and some 758 separate gauging operations are employed to produce one of the company's new high precision spherical roller bearings. A high degree of automation and a wide range of materials handling equipment are employed at the new plant, which has 50% greater capacity than the old one it replaces, and in the designing of which Link‐Belt's own bearing plant personnel took two years.
