HEGENSCHEIDT MFD: Longer lifetime for bearing rings due hard rolling
News from our sister HEGENSCHEIDT from Erkelenz Roller bearings guide shafts and axles, for example in vehicles, industrial plants or medical technology applications. Usually such bearings run permanently under high loads. Material fatigue and lubrication defect are therefore the main causes of component failure. High performance roller bearings can be manufactured with ceramic elements combined with bearing steel. For the production of bearing rings, the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT Aachen successfully tested hard rolling as a resource-saving alternative to extending the conventional process chain together with three project…
