Deseription: 
This institute is responsible for planning and organizing the 
expansion of the bearing industry. It has developed plans for the 
expansion and creation of complex automated production facilities (lines, 
shops, and plants) for the manufacture of special bearings. Some of the 
machines which made this expansion possible were also developed and built by 
the Institute, including automatic operators for single- and multi-spindle 
lathes, automatic facing machines, and automated inspection equipment. 
They are also active in the development of standards for the 
bearing industry, especially for nonmetallic inclusions that affect the 
quality of ball- and roller-bearing steels. 
The Institute's staff has conducted basic investigations on 
sliding and friction, and also on the treatment of various bearing steels. 
Plastic bearings, especially those made of polyamide resins, have 
been studied. Also, they have investigated the use of plastic parts in 
bearings for reduction of noise and vibration. 
The Institute publishes a Trudy approximately four times per year.
