Rolling bearings

Cronitect is a high performance stainless steel for rolling bearings. It provides maximum corrosion resistance under extreme operating conditions, including dry running applications or when bearings come into contact with aggressive media such as water, salt spray, acids and cleaning chemicals. Cronitect steel is a highgrade martensitic hardening steel that is based on the consistent refinement of high-grade NIROSteels. It achieves an extremely high hardness. Even after 600 hours of salt spray testing in accordance with DIN 50021 SS, the material shows no signs of corrosion. The material is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, including food and beverage processing, materials handling, heavy machinery (e.g. gear pumps, flow dividers), power transmission systems (gearboxes), hydraulic and pneumatic systems, consumer products and packaging. Cronitect can be used across most of the company’s product range, including rolling bearings, linear guides and plain bearings.
