A flexible measuring solution for roller bearings.
Straightness, contours, roughness, taper angle—the measuring tasks applied to roller bearings are varied and complex. The Jenoptik Industrial Metrology division offers a high-precision solution for these tasks: the Hommel-Etamic nanoscan. A bearing producer is now using the machine to measure roughness and contours of roller bearings in a single run using a special fixture design
Roller bearings consist of two bearing rings and several rolling bodies (in the form of balls, cylinders, needles, barrels or cones) rolling on tracks between the inner and outer ring. Rolling friction occurs at the points of contact, which is why all of the individual components must be precisely matched with one another. It’s what makes quality control in production so vital.
