Bearings sit in steering columns, motor shafts, wheels, wipers and electric mirrors, windows and seats. They take heavy loads and are expected to run for years without complaint.
Throttle and butterfly valves are a good example of a tough spot: extreme heat, rapid movement and plenty of vibration. SMB Bearings recommends high quality stainless steel here. 440 grade handles up to 300°C with good load and speed ratings, and 316 goes higher still.
As the authorised UK distributor for EZO bearings, SMB can supply automotive bearings made under ISO/TS16949. With electric vehicles chasing range, demand is growing for lighter, smaller bearings in EV drive trains.
Slow-moving controls such as steering columns can be supplied with dampening grease for a smoother, quieter feel.
