Wear-resistant and quiet: xiros® two-component ball bearings

The two-component ball bearing is suitable for high-speed applications. The outer material provides stability, the wear-resistant inner material has a vibration-dampening effect. The ball bearing rings with undercuts ensures a high level of safety when the materials are connected. The blue material is extremely wear-resistant and responsible for the quiet operation.

What makes it an innovation?
▷ Combining the specifications of a soft and hard polymer to obtain a ball bearing that is both strong and quiet

What goals have been achieved?
▷ The development of a world's first - with two components, customers meet more requirements than with just one

How do customers benefit from the innovation?
▷ Higher axial load capacity compared to existing soft xirodur materials
▷ Ideal for high speeds
