The PBC Linear solution
Simplicity linear plain bearings are designed to last in the toughest environments; including heavy loads and short strokes. With no rolling elements, the linear plain bearings contain no moving parts to fret and seize up; this completely eliminates the potential for catastrophic failure. Their proprietary FrelonGold® liner also enhances load capacities and dampens shock vibration—making the Simplicity line an attractive candidate to anyone seeking to study earthquakes or other heavy load applications. Combined with PBC Linear ceramic coated shafting, the Simplicity plain bearings provided smooth, quiet and long-lasting linear motion even in the cruel environment created by the shock table.
The WUSCEEL shock table is used to test for a wide range of structural analysis: bridge and building stability research, fragility curves and vibration control of aero systems. Any structure or material that could be affected by an earthquake or other high vibration surroundings is put to the test on these tables. These experiments prompted the researches to discover new ways to build earthquake resistant bridges, more reliable airplanes, and stronger buildings.
