Cashgate Scandal Malawi: Essential Strategy For The Fashion Industry
The topic of Cashgate Scandal Malawi has assumed global dimensions and now carries political implications. From institutions of higher education to the United Nations, the consensus is that the earth is at risk. Perhaps, grave risk. The scientific consensus on climate change, previously dubbed global warming, has had significant impact on many industries. The textile manufacturing and fashion industries do not operate in a vacuum. They are just as vulnerable as other sectors like food and beverage and play an important role in daily existence and social and economic interactions.
What is sustainability? It depends upon whom you ask. Among the myriad definitions within the framework of textiles and fashion, I define it as a system that includes the natural and human environment that recreates itself, stays balanced hence, sustainable - in order to survive. It includes other systems such as economic, environmental, societal, and personal, on a global scale. Consequently, we must answer this simple question: How can we live in a world in which the earth's resources that support life can be available to humans, as well as to the flora and fauna that are vital components of the ecosystem? The answer is simple: it has to be a collective and inclusive effort, on a global basis, which creates synergy among all players to benefit the continuation of the earth's ecosystem.
Understandably, the textile manufacturing and fashion industries cannot be sustainable alone. They can have a significant impact on the entire ecosystem. It is true that change will not happen unless a trigger causes it. Pressure from consumers, competitors, legislative mandates and the personal initiative of activists will compel stakeholders to change.
Textile manufacturing and fashion industries are becoming sustainably proactive
A 2014 survey published by the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana (National Chamber of Italian Fashion) revealed that only 13 per cent of luxury goods consumers said that sustainability was a fundamental value in purchasing decisions. According to Sourcing Journal, while 38 per cent of consumers go out of their way to find environmentally friendly apparel, 69 per cent would be concerned if they purchased items that were not eco-friendly. In addition, about 39 per cent would hold the manufacturer responsible for eco-unfriendly products. The stakeholders in the fashion industry take this data seriously and have been engaged in implementing sustainability as a critical value of the global fashion system, given the various correlated environmental and social factors including protection of the environment, people's needs and wants and corporate profits.
The critical challenge is to remain attentive to both the future of the planet and to fashion's role in that future, given the amount of premium materials used by the world's top luxury brands. Manufacturers of textiles that use chemicals in less expensive fabric lines - for shoppers at the bottom of the pyramid - need to be concerned as well. In response, many fashion designers, especially the Italians, are now engaged in the standardisation of reference on hazardous chemical substances in textile, leather and footwear products. Increasingly, many textile manufacturers are now ISO certified in various standards categories.

About Deep Groove Ball Bearings by MBP-Bearings
Single Row Deep Groove Ball Bearings are the most commonly used rolling bearings.The balls run in deep grooves in both the outer and inner rings. This enables the bearing type to accommodate radial loads as well and some axial loads in either direction.
Deep groove ball bearings are especially suitable for high speed applications due to their low friction. They achieve the highest speed ratings of all rolling bearing types. Deep groove ball bearings are available in a wide variety of designs with different shields and seals. This enables greased “For Life” bearings,maintenance free, and more efficient designs.
Other Classifications of single row deep grooved ball bearing are, Miniature Bearings – up to and including 3.175 mm inner bore diameter. Extra Small Bearings – over 3.175 mm up to and including 9.525 mm inner bore diameter
Max Type Bearings – greater number of balls than normal allowing higher radial loads, with limited axial loads in one direction.
Double Row Deep Groove Ball Bearing have higher radial load ratings than single row bearings and a very rigid bearing support. The older design of the double row deep groove ball bearings, fitted with a pressed steel cage, have filling slots in one face and therefore, is less suitable for axial loads in this direction.
The latest designs, usually fitted with polyamide cages, no longer have such filling slots. Therefore some axial load is equally possible in either direction.
Magneto Bearings have an internal design similar to the single row deep groove ball bearings. The outer ring is counter-bored, which makes it separable and easy to mount. Magneto bearings are suitable for applications where low loads and high speeds occur.

About Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings by MBP-Bearings
Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings are separable single direction acting axial bearings (see sketch below).
NKE Spherical Thrust bearings are manufacttured to the standard boundary dimensions DIN 728 General.
Spherical roller thrust bearings are self-aligning as their spherical rollers run on the sphered raceways of shaft and housing washers. Therefore they are well able to accommodate errors of misalignment and some shaft bending in an optimum way.
Spherical roller thrust bearings transmit forces via a contact angle towards the centre axis. Thus, they are able to accommodate some radial forces along with high axial loads.
But, it must be considered that the acting radial forces must not exceed approximately 55 % of the applied axial forces.
NKE spherical roller thrust bearings are produced to normal tolerance class (PN) as standard.
Detailed tolerance values available on request
Misallignment
Spherical Roller Bearings are optimum to compensate for misalignments.
The permissible amount of misalignment from the centre position however, is dependant on both the bearing series and the applied loading.
Under normal operating conditions, such as a rotating shaft washer and permanent misalignment the, following values may be assumed:
Cages
Small and medium size NKE spherical roller thrust bearings are available with either solid brass cages (suffix M) or pressed steel cages (suffix J).
Large spherical roller thrust bearings are produced with solid brass cages (suffix M) as standard.
Minimum load
All Spherical roller bearings require a certain minimum axial load to perform effectively.
To prevent excessive sliding friction, the minimum axial load applied should be over 5 %
of the axial bearing dynamic load rating Ca.
Where such a minimum load is not achieved, the load must be increased by effective measures, (i.e. preloading the bearing), using spring washers or springs etc.
Lubrication
Oil lubrication is preferred for spherical roller thrust bearings.
Grease lubrication is adequate only for applications where low loads and low speeds occur.
Particular attention must be made to ensure a sufficient grease supply to the contacting areas between the roller ends and guide flange. Frequent re - lubrication is necessary.
It must be considered that the recommended speed limits for grease lubricated spherical roller thrust bearings applies only to horizontal bearing arrangements. In the case of vertical arranged spherical roller thrust bearings, these values must be reduced by 50 %.
Abutment and fillet dimensions
In the case of spherical roller thrust bearings, an effective support of both bearing washers is necessary.
The bearing washer must contact adjacent parts with their face sides only.
The fillet radii of bearing corners must not touch the shoulder fillet radii of the shaft or the housing shoulders.
Therefore, the largest fillet radius must be smaller than the minimum fillet dimension of the bearing rings.
To avoid any contact between rollers and the housing with high misalignments, the housing bore must be designed according to the recommendations. Further information can be made available on request.
