A roller bearing design is never "final". Even after installation into a machine or device, it may behave differently than expected based on earlier tests, calculations and simulations. Therefore constant engineering support to users is a must for a top bearing manufacturer. Here is an interesting case study .

After the merger of Koyo Seiko and Toyoda Machine Works in 2006 to form JTEKT Corporation, engineers from both divisions have worked closely together to develop state of the art spindle shaft support bearings, which are key to modern machine tools with high accuracy & precision requirements.

Avoiding "bearing creep" is an underestimated challenge when designing the proper roller bearing for certain applications. Bearing creep happens when the outer rings moves relative to the housing in which it is mounted. Simply applying a light press fit seems easier than it practically is and may cause other functional problems. Therefore Koyo has been developing more suitable anti-creep solutions which are described in our latest article in BearingNews:

On February 5-6 Koyo participated with a representative booth at Ditzinger’s DITEC fair in Braunschweig. This was an excellent opportunity to meet with industry representatives, students and experts and the Ditzinger team focussing on MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul) requirements for all types of manufacturing industries in Northern Germany and other regions. The cut-open Audi DL382-7Q transmission, which includes several Koyo bearings and a JTEKT/Torsen LSD (Limited Slip Differential) attracted a lot of attention.
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.
