Precision tubes for production of bearings


Precision tubes for production of bearings use the cold drawing process. Rolled seamless tubes are used as the semi-finished product.

Tubes have its ends smooth, plain square cut ends, one beveled 0,5 to 4,00 x 45°.

Packaging of the fine-grained tubes

Tubes are packed in circular weighing between 1 000 – 3 000 kg.

Tubes bound with a steel band.

Steel hardness for bearing tubes

After the soft annealing the hardness ranges is 174 – 220 HB.
Hardness value dispersion along the length of the tube is 15 HB maximum.
Minimum hardness according to the hardness test is 61 HRc.

Demagnetizing

Residual magnetism 10 Oe maximum.

Microstructure of bearing tubes

Testing procedures according to SEP 1520:
• carbide sizes 2.1 – 2.3,
• lamellar pearlite 3.0,
• carbide net 5.2,
• carbide line spacing (max 6.3 – continuous, max 7.3 – released).

Marking of bearing tubes

Bundles of tubes are marked with label.

Micropurity

Tested according to DIN 50602..
Total value of oxide and sulphur micropurity K3 <= 10.

Surface protection of bearing tubes

Surface of the tubes is oiled.

Notes

The tubes also may be delivered as hot rolled.
It is also possible to deliver bearing tubes according to STN EN ISO 683-17.


It is annealed and automated steel that it is destined for hot treatment, part 17: steel for roller bearings.

According to DIN 50049 – EN 10204 – 3.1.B.


1 mm / m (1 : 1 000) measured on the outside surface, maximum 2.5 mm / 3000 mm.

Tubes are delivered with after its surface was soft annealed.

Maximum depth of defects is 0,25 mm and it includes decarbonizing.
