Tolerance Rings Applications & Solutions
Thermal Expansion
Tolerance rings excel at protecting bearings & housings against thermal expansion across temperature ranges. They also compensate for the growth & contraction that occurs between the different materials.
Improve Radial Alignment
When bearings are pressed onto a shaft, low axial force tolerance rings can allow for easy alignment of the bearing ODs, minimizing the risks of cocking the bearings during assembly.
Simplify Manufacturing
Saves time and cost by reducing the need for machining, adhesives or low-grade fasteners.
Ease of Replacement
Facilitate machine maintenance and repair without the need for costly machining. Easily service bearing, motor and motion control assemblies.
Prevents Torque Overload
Transmit torque from one cylindrical component to another without the need for costly splines or expensive key ways.
Reduce Vibration
Tolerance rings are used to reduce vibration in fractional horsepower motors; increasing efficiency while reducing noise over a range of speeds.
