Bearings for Metrology Applications

GMN Bearing USA’s ABEC 7 high precision ball bearings are made for high speed and heavy load applications.

GMN angular contact bearings (spindle bearings) are expertly crafted for speed, precision, & accuracy.

GMN radial ball bearings are versatile, great in small spaces & when axial loads move in both directions.

We know that not every application requires super, high-precision bearings. We stock other industrial parts from quality brands.

Our one-way sprag clutches are great for applications with low to high torque capacity.

Includes built-in ball bearing support. Supports HEAVY loads & has a high torque capacity: 53 to 588 Nm. Bore (ID) sizes: 10 to 60 mm (0.393 to 2.362 in)

Includes built-in ball bearing support. Supports MEDIUM loads & low to medium torque capacity: 53 to 267 Nm. Bore (ID) sizes: 17 to 40 mm (0.669 to 1.57 in)

No built-in ball bearing support. Good for large orders & low to high torque needs: 1 to 2673 Nm. Bore (ID) sizes: 2 to 240 mm (0.078 to 9.448 in)

No built-in ball bearing support. Has no RPM limits & Supports high torque needs: 609 to 14,060 Nm. Bore (ID) sizes: 38.09 to 220 mm (1.499 to 8.66 in)

This heavy-duty clutch (aka a hold-back clutch) is good for high torque operations and ensures motion freezes in place. Bore (ID) sizes: 15 to 40 mm. (0.59 to 1.73 in)

Designed for HEAVY-DUTY applications that require tough durability.

Our non-contact labyrinth seals are the first line of protection for bearing systems.

The best protection for your bearing. Easy to install with a simple “drop-in” next to your bearing. No added space needed. CF seals offer 100% sealing efficiency against splashing liquids.

Protection against low contamination & splashing liquids.

Designed with grooves in the outer ring to offer more protection (than our L-type seal) against contamination and direct spray liquids. Liquid gets pushed out through outer grooves when in rotation.

Our GMN Gap Seals are plastic and a great choice for washdown applications, such as food conveyors and food manufacturing facilities

Metrology (aka, ‘the science of measurement’) & Why Precision Bearings Make the Difference

In the world of metrology, the accuracy of measurement defines the quality of outcomes. That’s why the need for super precision bearings is vital. German-made GMN super precision bearings are engineered to meet the stringent demands of various metrology applications, ensuring that your measurements are as precise as your ambitions.

GMN high precision bearings are critical components in applications such as:

Coordinated Measuring Machines (CMM) – GMN angular contact bearings offer unparalleled load capacity & rigidity, and also minimize vibration & noise for accurate 3D measurements, no matter how large or heavy the application needs.
Laser Measuring Systems – For consistent & precise optical measurements, our bearings offer stability & repeatability, especially in applications where rapid measurements are necessary.
Rotary Torque Transducers – GMN Angular Contact bearings are optimized for minimal drag & inconsequential power loss with our P4+ rating for this sensitive & specialized tool.

Why Precision Matters in Metrology

Metrology underpins innovation and quality in high stakes measurement where even the smallest deviation can lead to significant errors. This is where our super precision bearings make the difference:

Accuracy: Every GMN bearing is designed with ultra-tight tolerances, minimizing errors & ensuring consistent, repeatable measurements.
Stability: Exceptional stability under varying loads and speeds, GMN bearings reduce the risk of measurement drift over time.
Durability: Built to last in demanding environments, our German-made bearings maintain their precision over extended periods, ensuring reliable performance in critical metrology applications.

With decades of experience in bearing technology, our commitment to innovation ensures that we stay at the forefront of metrology advancements. Our team of experts works closely with metrology equipment manufacturers to deliver solutions that meet the evolving needs of the industry.
