The ball roller bearing, a new and promising bearing series, has been developped 100 years after the invention of the ball bearing and 50 years after volume production readiness of the needle roller bearing.
This innovation is based on a simple slimming plan, which consists of just removing all areas of the ball not under load. 15 % is cut off on both sides of the ball, producing a flattened ball that is, of course, now 30 % narrower. This produces a new rolling element with new technical characteristics and advantages in completely new dimensions.
