Custom bearings?
The Technical Assistance Service of Silvio Colombo S.p.A. is able to develop customized products and services both in co-design with the customer's technical department and in complete autonomy based on the customer's requests.

Motorcycle & Scooter sector represents an important segment for motorized mobility with 2 or more wheels. Typical areas of interest are:
Starting from Standard solutions for Radial Load (0° DEG) and Angular Contact (15°, 25°, 30°, 40° DEG), Customized versions are available, in order to choose the Angular Displacement’s maximum excursion. Same concept is also applicable referring to admissible loads.
Often P0 tolerances (Standard) are not enough to meet a specific assembly needs. Also in this case it is possible to verify these requirements and have customized solutions, able to make available both the production process and maintenance operations.
Materials resistance related to operating conditions is certainly an important aspect, infact the bearing life depends on this, in terms of effective performed life. In this sense, many technical solutions are available (both Standard and Custom) able to meet the specific use.
1. Analysis & Technical Feasibility, in order to pass the Homologation Test on Final Customer Appliance;
2. Documentations & PPAP, Automotive level;
3. Coupling tollerances and Clearances, designed to meet mounting exigences;
4. Super pure 100Cr6 steels to increase the bearing life;
5. Plastic or Steel Cages, to Gabbie in Plastica to support the best behavior of the rolling elements;
6. Seals and Lubricant Materials, to ensure the thermal behavior with applicance conditions;
7. Life Test, on bench, monitoring temperatures and vibrations;
8. Sealing infiltration test, with dust and mud, through the use of mixtures with prescribed particle size;
9. Comparative tests with similar product, market standard or customized solutions.
1. Operative conditions
- Urban;
- Extra-Urban & Off Road;
- Race & Competition;
2. Homologation needs
- Standard & Incremented Load;
- Controlled Angular Displacement;
- Resistance to developed heat.
