The '2D X Auto' feature in Metrology 4.0 software It simplifies the measurement of roller bearings by precisely auto-detecting the edge at the start and end of the roller and it provides the analysis of roughness, wall thickness, dimension, and waviness, etc. It is no longer necessary to set the traverse length! This is a huge benefit as, typically, most manufacturers will have many different sizes of roller bearing to measure.

Another important feature bearing manufacturers tend to have a look is material they use. The bearing material must be of adequate hardness and strength enough to support the loads. Conversely, the material needs to be soft enough to embed particulate debris to avoid scoring the shaft.Taylor Hobson provides the roller bearing measurement tools/solutions to analyse the bearings rapidly.

Roller bearings are widely used in all main shaft and auxiliary drive shaft applications. In most of the case, the inner race is integrated with the shaft or stub shaft instead of having a separate inner. There are many benefits to do so, including reducing complexity and weight, also build up of concentricity tolerances.

Wheel bearings are small balls that spin freely inside the wheel hub to allow the wheels to move freely, smoothly and securely. Most vehicles manufactured before 1997 have both an inner and outer wheel bearing for each front wheel, as well as the back wheels. However, the front wheel bearings do more work, so typically are the only ones that need servicing. Most car manufacturers recommend cleaning and repacking them with grease every 30,000 miles. Neglecting this can result in grinding or squealing noise, shaking steering wheel and can even cause the steering wheel to lock.

Ball joints are part of the spindle or control arm, and allow the wheels of the car to turn, while also supporting the weight of the vehicle. Ball joints, especially lower ball joints, receive a lot of wear and eventually need replacing. Pressing the old ball joints out and replacing them properly requires specialized equipment.

The Form Talysurf® PGI NOVUS with automatic rotary and linear stages aligns the bearing to the measurement is then automatically analysed with Metrology 4.0 analysis and contour software. Using this instrument, measure the roller bearings contour drops, X-offset, surface finish and diameter are then analysed automatically.

Check your owner’s manual for recommendations on how often to replace the ball joints. When you are ready to replace your ball joints, bring them in the spindle or control arm to Arch Auto Parts, and we will replace your ball joints.

Since 1998, most cars and trucks have been made with sealed hub assembly units, which are critical for everything from handling to braking. If your wheels seem to be clicking or shaking, the wheel hub assembly may need replacing. Collisions, rough roads, and potholes can prematurely wear down your hub assembly, compromising your ride.

For wheel hub bearings that can be serviced, Arch Auto Parts can disassemble these hubs and inspect the hub assembly and ball bearings. If the existing bearings are worn, they are replaced with new bearings, and grease is added to the hub assembly to restore smooth operation.
