Proper Storage and Handling of Bearings

Motion Industries, Inc. (Birmingham, AL), a leading distributor of industrial maintenance, repair, and operation (MRO) replacement parts, highlights the importance of proper handling and storage of bearings in aTom’s Toolbox video. Tom’s Toolbox videos are available for viewing on the MiHow2 YouTube channel that was established in 2012.

“Proper Bearing Handling and Storage with SKF Bearings” provides the viewer guidelines on how to get the most out of their bearings before they are even installed. “Properly storing bearings helps to ensure that your investment pays off,” said Randy Breaux, the senior vice president for southern U.S. operations, corporate marketing and strategic planning at Motion Industries. “Proper storage extends the life of the bearing, and therefore reduces downtime.”

Tom’s Toolbox embodies the “how-to” format, but in shorter time snippets. In the series, the witty and always informative host Tom Clark demonstrates a broad range of solutions designed to save viewers money and time, and/or keep safe on the job.  Each video short is filmed in a workshop setting or an appropriate off-site setting. The series is also available for viewing via Facebook and YouTube. Additional videos are scheduled to be posted in coming weeks.
