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 bearing?

A bearing is a moving device that supports rotational movement between a stationary part and a rotating part. There are several types of bearings like slide, magnetic and rolling bearings. Koyo bearings are “Rolling Bearings” Rolling bearings have a long service life, high interchangeability and is power saving. The rolling elements of the bearings are assembled between inner and outer rings with or without cage. With this structure, a smooth rolling motion can be realized during operation. The great advantages of rolling bearings are:

  • Low starting friction
  • Ability to support both radial and thrust load and high speed rotation
  • Easy to handle and maintained
  • Interchangeable and easy acquirement (global normalization & standardization)
  • Can operate in extreme environments (high and low temperatures)
  • Simple methods of grease lubrication

Bearings are critical elements in all types of machinery and products. You can find them for example in automobiles, airplanes, home appliances but also in equipment for malting steel and semiconductors.
