Bearing design
Geometry, internal construction and the bearing arrangement are reviewed against application requirements.
R&D AND INNOVATION
Technology-driven bearing solutions for tomorrow
Connecting bearing design, materials, manufacturing processes and testing to the requirements of industrial motion.
Research & development
Bearing design
Material & process research
Testing & analysis
ENGINEERING CAPABILITY
Research with an application in mind
A 58-person R&D team supports bearing design, materials, manufacturing processes, testing and failure analysis.
Development begins with operating conditions, load, speed, dimensions and the complete bearing arrangement. Drawings and project requirements establish the scope for technical discussion.
RESEARCH DIRECTIONS
Connecting design with manufacturing
Materials & heat treatment
Material characteristics and thermal processes connect to the required bearing properties.
Process technology
Machining, grinding and surface finishing connect development with repeatable production.
Testing & failure analysis
Inspection and technical evaluation support product review and investigation.
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
From your requirements to technical agreement
01
Define the Application
Share the equipment, drawing, loads, speed and operating environment.
02
Review the Specification
Clarify dimensions, materials, precision, clearance and qualification needs.
03
Evaluate the Design
Review the construction and production route for the project.
04
Agree the Technical Scope
Confirm the drawing, acceptance criteria and project conditions.
05
Review Samples & Testing
Discuss prototype needs, test scope and evaluation requirements.
06
Plan Production
Agree manufacturing, inspection, quantity and delivery requirements.
