Material Fatigue Life & Integrity
The fatigue life of Bearing Materials is determined by the cleanliness of the steel. By using vacuum-degassed steel, ZGBK ensures that the molecular structure is uniform, significantly extending the L10 rating life.
Technical Selection for Extremes
ZGBK offers specialized heat stabilization (S0 to S4) to ensure dimensional accuracy up to 250°C.
