Machine tools and other high-precision applications require bearings with excellent performance. A wide range of speed capabilities, maintaining high rotational accuracy, high system rigidity, low heat generation, low noise, and low vibration levels are just some of the many requirements.
Rolling bearings for general industrial applications can only meet some of these requirements. Therefore, ultra-precision bearings can help OEMs and end-users further optimize the performance parameters of their equipment and applications. The advantages vary depending on the bearing series and application, but always include high speeds and load-carrying capabilities, long bearing service life, long maintenance intervals and low energy consumption.
