Taper roller bearings are commonly used in automotive differentials to support pinion gears. To improve the life of these bearings in this demanding application, NBC developed a SLC Bearing.
Features
The special heat treatment develops a hard surface and a tough core in the components
SLC bearings have a fatigue and wear resistant surface with a tough, ductile and crack-resistant core
Residual compressive stress on the subsurface
Benefits
Improved performance under shock load applications
Improved resistance to bending fatigue of bearing and increases bearing's life
Improved contamination resistance
Application
Automotive differential & pinion support bearings.
