There are 4 main types of “K seriescustom bearings:

1) Unit assembly, which includes the manufacture of accessory parts, bearings, and assembly as a unit.

2) Full customization, where all parts are custom made.

3) Reassembly of existing parts.

4) Partial customization, in which the bearing is partially modified.


Our custom bearings can be prototyped in as little as one month.


1. Unit assembly
  
   Example: Guide roller with integrated bearing 




TOK can design & assemble units with integrated bearings and guide rollers for production.

In the past, the customer only purchased TOK bearings.
However, we proposed
to produce the guide rollers and assemble them with the bearings as a one-stop resource.
This has contributed to production efficiency by reducing the burden of product maintenance and inventory management.
 
We also design complex units.

And you will benefit greatly from our one-stop resource that handles everything from unit production to bearing assembly.


2. Full customization




Even special bearings are designed and produced to meet the customer's requirements.
In the case of fully-customized products, the design range is expanded to accommodate special forms and conditions.

 

For example, TOK's plastic bearings are used in the safety doors of injection molding machines.

In the past, metal bearings were used, but there was an issue that metal equipment and metal bearings made contact with each other, resulting in severe wear and short end life.

By proposing a combination of plastic bearings and metal equipment, it is possible to extend the life of both.

In this way, we also offer suggestions for solving the problem.


3. Reassembly of existing parts


It is also possible to customize the bearing to suit your application by combining existing parts.

The photo above shows a custom bearing that combines an existing outer race and a wide type inner race.

There is no extra cost because we only change the combination.
Various combinations are possible, so please contact us with your requirements.




4. Partial customization




As shown in the photo above, only one part, such as the outer race or inner race, can be customized.
The inner race can be customized in the case of cutting process, which does not require a mold.


Thank you for reading to the end.
We have introduced TOK bearings in three articles so far.
Please take a look at the past articles as well.
