High End Technologies- Smart Bearings Facilitate Manufacturers to Monitor Bearing Operations

Bearings are machine elements that are primarily used for reducing friction between moving parts. For instance, in case of a roller bearing, the rolling elements in the bearings withstand the load, allowing the device to spin smoothly. With technological advancements in several industry verticals such as automotive, construction, and oil and gas, the applications and functionalities of bearings are evolving continuously. High end technologies such as smart bearings facilitate manufacturers to monitor bearing operations constantly.The increased production of vehicles worldwide, coupled with the rising demand from the aerospace and defense industry, is driving the global bearing market. With a continually widening global industrial base, the need for replacement and upgrades is strengthened; this aids the expansion of the global bearing market

The market for bearings has primarily gained impetus from the rising production of vehicles. Additionally, the desperate need for energy-efficiency in vehicles and the increasing demand for bearings from the aerospace and defense industry are other factors boosting the market. However, the market is facing a challenge from the growing sale of counterfeit products.
