Bearings Aid High-quality Printing

A new range of digital production press machines had to support a wide range of business needs where the machine capabilities can be expanded as the business grows. The flexible print system from Xerox required self-aligning needle roller bearings to help achieve the demand for such high-quality printing.

When designing the print image mechanism the engineers needed a bearing that could accurately transmit the drive to the looped film mechanism, handle many film variables as well as carry a significant load with no wear over many millions of print cycles.

The engineers selected the Spyraflo FSN-8M-F self-clinch, self-align, 8mm diameter needle roller bearing.These bearings can accommodate misalignment and be securely mounted into the machine frame.

Needle roller bearings offer a low co-efficient of friction, coupled with high load carrying capability, in combination with a thin cross-section.This makes them an ideal choice for a wide variety of demanding applications.
