HARP bearings undergo the full control, which includes over 50 parameters. In addition, every material, coming in for basic production, goes through input control and cycle of necessary tests.
HARP ball bearings are produced only from superpurity steel with decreased oxygen containing, which increases service lifetime of the bearing and decreases fatigue failures. In addition all working surfaces of HARP bearings are superfinished in order to decrease bearing heating, improve noise and vibroacoustic features and durability. The rollers with modified contact also improve operational features.
According to HARP General Director, the improving of production, quality control system and products storage allow to introduce new improved warranty conditions, which demonstrate confidence in HARP bearings, and also loyalty to the customers.
