Thrust bearings bearing raceway

Powerful software for critical measurement and analysis

The data from analysing critical characteristics such as roundness, radius, form, roughness and harmonics is essential for reducing wear and noise and for improving functionality and quality.

Roundness analysis

Departure from true circle (DFTC) example: for identifying localised roundness errors

Surface analysis

Form, radius, roughness and waviness analysis from one measurement

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.

Morphological filtering

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:

• Measure roughness then simulate form and radius measurement!
• Improve roundness and form repeatability
• Standard on Talyrond®, Form Talysurf® and non-contact systems
• Internal and external measurements

Analysis solutions

• Roughness and waviness
