China LYC Bearings Broken the Asian Record on Spherical Roller Processing
July, 2nd - Luoyang (e-bearings.com) At present, China LYC Bearings has broken the asian record on processing extra large size spherical roller again,which filled up the blank in domestic market. This successful development indicates that LYC Bearings has made a substantial progress in processing bottlenecks of the extra large size spherical roller.
The extra large size spherical roller of high-precision processed is a solid and symmetric product with the diameter of 150mm, height of 180mm and the finished product single weight of 23.4kg. It is 2.4kg heavier than the largest hollow spherical roller bearing in Asian, being processed by LYC company in 2008. The processing precision is up to the level of P5. The accuracy has been also improved.
Remarkably, this product is not only refresh the Asian record, but also brings the order of 1100 pcs to the company once, which is the largest order of spherical roller they ever had. The break of extra large size spherical roller processing record indicate that LYC has stepped on a new stage on product research and development, manufacturing and processing, which also established the solid base for expansion the market share of high grade products.
