Precision machined bearing raceways are a critical component in gyroscopes. Gyroscopes support accurate, reliable orientation and navigation of defense equipment where safety is paramount: aircraft, jets, tanks, and ships. The bearing raceways are small components that require machining tolerances on the micron level for smooth rolling of ball bearings.

 

Precision Solutions by Hyperion has the tooling and fixturing required to deliver smooth and durable precision machined bearing raceways. High-quality tungsten carbide is used to create exceptionally hard and tough bearing raceways that can withstand the challenges of extreme altitudes and temperatures. Bearing raceways are produced at the Precision Solutions facility in Bridgeport, Michigan, an ITAR-registered site with AS9100 compliant quality management systems.

Inner Ring on Raceways

 

Ball bearing raceways are composed of an inner and outer ring. The balls sit between the inner and outer rings, which is why the bearing raceway is sometimes called a seat.

Machining inner and outer rings requires specialized capabilities for a smooth surface finish that guarantees seamless movement of the balls within the bearing raceway. Precision Solutions offers machining capabilities that consistently deliver quality tolerances to manufacture completed raceway bearings and gyroscopes. Precision Solutions provides tolerances of:

  • OD down to .0002 inches [.00508 mm]
  • ID down to .00003 inches [.00762 mm]
  • Surface finishes to .4Ra or even less

 

Bearing Raceways in Defense Applications

 

Precision Solutions is equipped to deliver raceways for applications across industries, with a specialized focus on solutions for defense applications. Common defense applications for gyroscopes, the finished components that contain raceway bearings, include tanks, ships, and jets. Bearing raceways from Precision Solutions are well suited for defense applications because they are produced at the ITAR-registered manufacturing facility in Bridgeport, Michigan.
