JTEKT Corporation, the Koyo bearing manufacturer, is recognised as the world's largest bearing supplier to the Automotive OE and Components and has been taking major further steps to increase its presence into the Industrial OE and the Aftermarket business by making technological improvements on the standard radial bearing range.

Today we are proud to announce that Koyo will introduce a new Dynamic load rating (1.25 x C). Since the mid 90's Koyo has been testing manufacturing improvements leading to a clearer comparison between actual and calculated bearing life. These achievements reached thanks to improved daily manufacturing processes and also new steel specifications,allow JTEKT to offer today on the market, the longest service life (2X calculated life). 

 

We have officialised this major breakthrough by releasing a promotion campaign supported by a brand new edition of the Koyo General Catalogue 2001-B. Please download it here!

Our engineers will be pleased to explain in detail the technical reasons behind these improvements and the advantages, that as a user of bearings,you can expect for your operations improvements.

FAQ

What is a spherical roller bearing?

Spherical roller bearings feature a large load rating and self-aligning capability. This type of bearing is suitable for low- or medium speed applications which involve heavy or impact loading. Spherical roller bearings are self-aligning, double-row, combination radial and thrust bearings.

They use a spherical or crowned roller as the rolling element. The outer ring contains a spherical race which allows for some misalignment of the shaft and housing. Spherical roller bearings are unequalled in their capacity for high loads and tolerance to shock loads, but have limited speed capabilities.

They perform consistently, even under conditions of extreme speed, application-specific stress, and marginal lubrication. The cage of a spherical roller bearing provides high dimensional accuracy and functionality. According to some estimates, spherical roller bearings have twice the running life of conventional bearings.
