Bearings

 

During the traditional run-in period of new rolling element bearings, the initial contact surfaces change until they stabilize to a broken-in condition and have a new surface texture. When bearings are finished with the ISF® Process, they will have the characteristics of a broken-in condition before they are put into service.

The benefits are:

  • Eliminates initial wear and debris in system

  • Lowers running torque

  • Extends fatigue life

  • Reduces operating temperatures

  • Reduces surface finish roughness
