Gears and Bearings
What’s different about grease?
Greases lubricate about 90% of all rolling element bearings.
Engine donation supports research to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Caterpillar donated an industrial natural gas engine to West Virginia University to bolster research aimed at developing new technology that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and improves fuel consumption at natural gas production sites.
Beyond the bearing housing retrofit
