Driving Growth with Innovation and Industrial Expansion in Latin-America
In this issue of Bearing News magazine, we delve into the thriving ball and roller bearing market in Latin-America, where robust industrialization and sectoral growth are fueling a steady rise in demand. The region’s market, anchored by key players like Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, is seeing significant momentum due to the technological developments in the manufacturing, mining, and construction industries. As global companies invest heavily in the region, the market is preparing for continued growth, with projections indicating a 4-5% increase over the next decade. You can read more details and a overview per country in this new issue.
We explore further the critical challenge of cage instability in ball bearings, a phenomenon that has disrupted several high-profile space missions. This unpredictable issue, particularly prevalent in gyroscopes and reaction wheel assemblies (RWAs), generates noise and vibrations that can lead to mission failure. Traditional testing methods on Earth fall short in predicting this instability once in the gravity-free environment of space. However, there is hope on the horizon—”Butterfly cage” design, which has been rigorously tested, promises to enhance stability and mitigate these risks, paving the way for more reliable space missions in the future.
In addition, we sit down with Talar Markaroğlu and Sesil Markaroğlu, the dynamic leadership duo behind Özevren, which is one of Turkey’s leading bearing distributor. With a strategic focus on direct supply to manufacturers and end-users, Özevren has built an impressive local network, boasting a storage capacity of 12,000 square meters across its facilities. The recent launch of Özevren Teknik Makine marks a pivotal transformation for the company, as it expands into offering customized solutions and advanced technological equipment. In our exclusive interview, the Markaroğlus share insights into this exciting evolution and their vision for driving efficiency and innovation in the industry.
