GMN uses exclusively high-quality materials for all components and machining processes for manufacturing high-precision spindle and deep groove ball bearings. The highest quality ensures the best-possible performance efficiency and longest life expectancy for GMN products. GMN’s on-going development processes ensure that GMN’s ball bearings are constantly improved, and their technical characteristics continue to evolve.
GMN ball bearings internal and external rings are made of high-quality bearing steal (chrome steel), 100 Cr 6.
Designs in special steels upon request

Hardness
60 to 64 HRC, through-hardened; Corresponds to 700-800 HV30 characteristics
High purity and homogeneity, vacuum degassed
Outer ring diameter coating on the Bearings- Outer ring with SliCoTec
GMN customers have come to appreciate the benefits of a DLC-coated outer ring surface over many years of experience. It provides significant added value when used in a floating bearing.
Benefits and characteristics::
Significantly reduced sliding friction in loose bearings
Prevents corrosion
Outer diameter still within DIN tolerances
Optimized thin-film technology ensures consistent high precision
The DLC layer adheres firmly to the bearing ring
Saving additional sliding elements (such as ball bushings)
Longer service interval times due to less wear in the bearing seat
