Koyo Bearings help to combat COVID19

  

What is the relation between a covid virus and a roller bearing? Well, strictly there is no relation, at least not directly . . 

But surely to identify the covid virus, a massive amount of PCR tests needs to be done globally, every day. And to process all those tests quickly, increasingly automated laboratories are installed in many countries. Those laboratories need quick, smooth and reliable handling of the test materials. And here is where roller bearings come into play.

In the below linked article you can see how Koyo bearings (note: as of April 1, “Koyo” will be rebranded to “JTEKT”) are contributing with state-of-the-art bearings for such automated laboratories.

FAQ

What is a cylindrical roller bearing?

Cylindrical roller bearings have high radial-load capacity and moderate thrust loads.

They contain rollers which are cylindrically-shaped, but are not true cylinders. Instead, these rollers are crowned or end-relieved to reduce stress concentrations. This geometry results in low friction and allows for high-speed applications.
