High loads on low-cost shafts

Inexpensive and extremely wear-resistant under high loads

Ideal for use with cost-effective shafts without a hardened surface.

Tech up

Ideal for high loads from 75MPa with high running performance requirements on shafts such as HR carbon steel or 40Cr

Cost down

Up to 40% more cost-effective than comparable bearings made of steel with gliding layer

Proof

Five times longer service life on gas-nitrocarburised (gnc) HR carbon steel and eight times longer service life on 40cr compared to Q3E
gnc HR carbon steel: 55.9 µm/100 km
40 Cr: 16 µm/100 km
p = 45 MPa, v = 0.01 m/s, pivoting

Sustainability

Enables 100% lubrication-free operation
