Most bearings standards ask for two measurements: one of radius and form using a ball stylus and another of surface finish using a diamond stylus.

A ‘morphological filter’ allows the user to measure using a diamond stylus and then simulate measurement using a ball stylus. It can also be used with non-contact systems to simulate measurement with a stylus:

Taylor Hobson provides high technology solutions for measuring raceways and analysing critical characteristics such as roundness, radius, form, roughness and harmonics. This data is essential for reducing wear and noise and for improving functionality and quality.
