The Education Services Committee of the Bearing Specialists Association (BSA) has selected The Best Kept Secret in "Green" Technology as the next topic in their series of Bearing Briefs.

The Best Kept Secret in "Green" Technology details the many ways in which bearings contribute to a greener planet.

The brief point outs the bearing industry is constantly developing new bearings that operate at higher speeds, generate less friction (and therefore less energy consumption), support heavier loads, last longer, use environmentally friendly lubricants, and cost less throughout their service life. In short, the bearing industry is making the most out of existing machines while reducing their impact on the environment. Equally important, the bearing industry also helps users and engineers balance bearing features to achieve optimum machine performance.

Over the last several years, BSA's Educational Services Committee has published twenty-five Bearing Briefs, all of them available as free, downloadable PDFs from the BSA website at www.bsahome.org.
