Form Talysurf PGI Bearing system

Measurement helps success

Form Talysurf takes the lead

In 1984, Taylor developed an instrument that could measure the shape, roughness and size of curved surfaces. The new equipment not only continues this tradition, but also meets the higher professional requirements for a variety of high-precision bearings.

Roller bearings-drum profile

Noise and load characteristics are affected by surface finish and shape. The drum shape of the track and roller is also a key factor affecting the function of the bearing. Taylor provides powerful software that can calculate "convexity" and other important geometric / dimensional features.

Hard Drive Bearings-Groove Dynamics

Hydrodynamic bearings pay particular attention to the grooves machined in the spindle and rotor, they help to create a stable lubrication layer. Taylor has developed a new software analysis tool to determine the shape, size, and spacing of these key features.

Ball bearing--double arc groove

The geometry of the track and the rolling elements affects the contact between the two, which in turn affects their load and motion performance. In addition to checking the radius and surface finish. Form Talysurf instruments can also analyze this complex design element

Contact measurement method is more suitable for measuring high precision bearings

PGI is available in multiple configurations to accommodate bearings of various sizes and specifications

PGI 420 with 4mm range is ideal for measuring small, miniature bearings

Choosing the right system

? Form Talysurf PGI 420--Medium The range of this system is 4mm and the drive unit is 120mm, which is ideal for miniature to medium-sized bearing parts. System performance meets the measurement requirements of standard and precision bearings. ? Form Talysurf PGI 820 and 830--Large Both systems have an 8mm range, a 450mm column, and a 200mm drive. They are the choice of medium to large parts. PGI 820 is a cost-effective system for standard or precision bearings. PGI 830's measurement resolution is 0.8nm, which improves straightness accuracy and reduces system noise. It is the choice of manufacturers producing precision to high precision specifications bearings. It is equipped with a shield to greatly reduce the environmental impact. ? Form Talysurf PGI 1220--Powerful With a measuring range of 12.5mm and a column of 700mm, this system is the choice of large to very powerful bearing parts. In addition, it is a cost-effective system suitable for standard, heavy and precision bearing manufacturers. ? Form Talysurf PGI 1230-configured for high-precision bearings of all sizes Designed to meet more demanding application requirements, this high-performance system has a drive length of 200mm, straightness uncertainty of only 0.125μm, a 450mm column, a range of 12.5mm, and a resolution of 0.8nm. He also includes an environmental barrier that minimizes the effects of temperature, airflow, and dust.
