Our precision angular contact bearings are a great match for the medical industry because so many medical applications operate at high-speeds and need a high degree of accuracy and precision. Our angular contact bearings have very tight runouts and support applications that need high rigidity and accuracy.

Customers in the medical industry have GMN angular contact bearings in high-speed dental drills, surgical robotic arms, medical centrifuges and many more.

Customers also use our non-contact labyrinth seals for an added layer of protection against contamination.

Case Study: How GMN Hybrid Ceramic Bearings Improved the Performance of an Optical Grinder

An ophthalmic equipment manufacturer was designing a new machine to cut the lens prescription into the blank material. They were having issues with bearing noise and total system runout creating out of tolerance surface finish. GMN engineers stepped in and helped optimize the spindle assembly and bearing configuration to remove the bearing noise and produce sub-micron surface finishes.
