High precision motors are used throughout industry to provide smooth and quiet rotation. From robotic exoskeletons to industrial actuation systems, high precision motors are increasingly in demand as a source of electrical power.

HQW ball bearings provide the precision and performance this application demands. Low friction and noise levels, a lightweight and compact design, energy efficiency and a high life expectancy are all crucial requirements which can be met by the HQW product range.

HQW high precision motor bearings offer:

• Optimised internal geometry and surface finish resulting in very low running friction and low noise and vibration properties.
• Reliable performance, minimal maintenance requirements and longer life design.
• Manufacture from a range of materials suitable for the application, including ceramic (silicon nitride) balls for increased wear resistance and resistance to electrical currents.
• Designed to withstand heavy radial loads and moderate thrust loads in both directions.
• High performance lubrication options and greased-for-life designs available.
• Compatibility with high-temperature environments and high speed running.
• Fully shielded and sealed versions of all bearings to prevent contamination ingress and contain lubrication.

Typical motor applications include:

• Industrial automations and robotics
• Industrial fans, blowers and pumps
• Power tools and consumer products
• Electric and hybrid vehicle applications
• Aircraft and space vehicles
• Medical and surgical equipment
