Steel balls bearings
ICT offers steel balls in quality grades from G3 to G40, including the special Super-Premium grade designed for applications with high silence requirements. The chrome steel balls are made with clean 100Cr6 steel (i.e. without metallic and not metallic inclusions) produced only by well known Japanese, Korean and French steel mills. This is a guarantee of excellent resistance of balls to fatigue and wear, in such a way to avoid dangerous phenomena of balls spalling that might result into the same failure mode also on rings grooves. Balls are offered mostly in the dimensional range from 0.4 mm up to 200 mm of diameter (indeed for some materials it is possible to reach diameters up to 800 mm). Materials are all the possible imaginable: just get in touch with us at info@consulting-trading.com or through the contact form of the web site page (www.consulting-trading.com) to confirm the availability and get the quote. Chrome Steel Balls 100Cr6, i.e. the chrome steel used for bearings application, is the most widely used material for balls and is also known as 52100 or SUJ2 steel. The steel sources that ICT uses guarantee very fine-grain martensitic microstructure, which allows high hardness and exceptional wear and fatigue resistance properties. Our chrome steel balls are widely used worldwide in various applications, from bearings to ball screws, from constant velocity joints to check valves, from automotive steering to seating systems, just to mention few. The presence of our logo NHB Inside on these final applications is always a guarantee of superior quality of the finished assembled product. Through our partner we produce more than 4 billions a year of chrome steel balls. This allows the flexibility of a wide offer of high quality balls, served worldwide with just-in-time policy. Quality range includes the very special Super Premium specification besides the best ISO 3290 grades, i.e. G3, G5 and G10, for noise sensitive bearings. We offer G10 and G16 grades for HUB wheel bearings and G20, G24 and G28 for constant velocity joints. However we can support our customers to chose the best fit products for their own needs. Just get in touch with us directly at info@consulting-trading.com. Stainless Steel Balls ICT offer of stainless steel balls cover multiple types of materials. AISI 304/302, AISI 316, AISI 420, AISI 430, AISI 440C. ICT offer of aluminum balls is mostly made of type 2017 aluminum, i.e. solution treated copper alloy with natural aging to T4 conditions. Indeed balls also in 6061 and 7075 alloys are available. Tungsten Carbid Balls High hardness and dimensional stability make tungsten carbide balls the preferred choice for precision hydraulic valves, high-load bearings, inertial navigation systems, ball screws, linear bearings in slideways, gauging and checking instruments and meters.

Spherical, cylindrical and taper rollers
As for balls in ball bearings also rollers allow the relative movement between the parts and adjust the load transmission in the proper way, i.e. radially for cylindrical rollers, radially and axially for taper rollers and along variable direction for spherical rollers. Steel is 100Cr6 steel, but also 100CrMn6 steel (for diameters larger than 40 mm) and case hardened steel (wherever application requires special resistance to fatigue and/or wear) are available. The profile of these rollers may be “micro” designed in order to optimize the load distribution on the tracks of bearing rings, minimize the friction and the starting torque, optimize the energy efficiency of the ¬ final application and maximize the overall bearing performances. ICT is capable to offer the whole dimensional range of steel rollers through partners who have high quality standards in their process and flexibility of short lead-times. Furthermore, through consignment stocks available in Europe, it is possible to supply customers with just-in-time policy. Rollers are offered by ICT mostly in the dimensional range from 4 mm up to 160 mm of diameter (indeed for needles and pins it is possible to offer also smaller diameters, from 0.8 mm). Besides 100Cr6 steel and Chrome Manganese steel (for rollers larger than 40 mm of diameter), it’s possible to order also plenty of other materials: all stainless steels, many types of plastics, ceramics and many others. For all ZB and logarithmic profiles are available. • Cylindrical Rollers • Taper rollers • Spherical rollers • Needles • Ceramic rollers ICT cylindrical rollers are available both with pro¬ le TR and ZB, sorted in groups of 1 micron each or packed by plastic tube-packaging concept, keeping exactly the same production sequence as from the last lapping operation Spherical rollers of ICT ranges in the diameters from 8 to 160 mm and in lengthes from 8 to 160 mm, with radius end face that are included between a minimum of 44 up to a max of 1800 mm. Also in this case the most common type of steel is bearings chrome steel, 100 Cr6. However, for dimensions larger than 40 mm the chrome Mn steel is used in order to enhance the temprability properties of the material and to guarantee an uniform microstructure in the whole section of rollers (from surface to core). Chrome Steel Taper Rollers Taper rollers of ICT ranges in the diameters from 5 to 160 mm and in lengthes from 6 to 280 mm, with radius end face that are included between a minimum of 44 up to a max of 1800 mm. Most of these rollers are custom designed for each customer, satisfying very high standards of precision. is allows the taper rollers to facilitate smooth rotation of bearings, to reduce starting torque and to contribute to make longer the life of end products. Among the ¬ final applications, let’s here recall the automotive (e.g. suspension hubs, engines, transmission, etc.) and industrial machinery components (e.g. speed reducers, motors, cam followers).

Cages
Inside any bearing, cages have the purpose to keep the rolling elements at an appropriate distance from each other and to prevent direct contact between neighbouring rolling elements, in order to keep friction and thus heat generation at a minimum. Furthermore, through the cage, a proper load distribution is reached in the bearing, assuring quite and uniform running. However cages are mechanically stressed by frictional, strain and inertia forces and may also be subjected to the chemical action of certain lubricants, lubricant additives, solvents or coolants. Therefore the design and material are of paramount importance for the performance of the cage as well as for the operational reliability of the bearing itself. ICT can offer various cage types and designs of different materials for the different bearing types. Pressed cages are produced starting from steel sheet (in some case also from brass sheet) and pressing it in high precision presses, with very special tooling. ICT can offer ribbon-type brass or steel cages, riveted steel cages, snap type brass or steel cage and window-type steel cages. They have the advantage of lower weight and more space inside the bearing, that is an important point to facilitate the entrance of lubricant into the bearing itself. ICT offers also solid cages made from brass, steel, light alloy, polymer or fabric reinforced phenolic resin. Types are huge: two-pieces machined riveted cage, two-pieces machined cage with integral rivets, one-piece machined window-type cage, double pronged machined cage, injection moulded polymer window-type cage, injection moulded polymer snap-type cage and one-piece machined cage of fabric reinforced phenolic resin. They generally allow higher speeds than pressed cages and are necessary when conditions of high acceleration are important in application. ICT solid polymer cages represent a perfect combination of strength and elasticity, ideal in many conditions. Furthermore ICT can provide steel pin-type cages, used with pierced rollers, typically in large-sized roller bearings. These cages have relative low weight and enable a large number of rollers being incorporated. ICT can also offer PEEK cages and other high-tech plastic materials cage. Speci¬fically PEEK is an excellent material to guarantee low friction, high flexibility, wide temperature and possibility to manufacture even complex designs.
