Innovative diamond ball bearings

Article

We are proud to announce we are involved in a prestigious Clean Sky 2 project, a sub-set of Horizon 2020 which is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme. Together with Rolls-Royce and the University of Oxford we are working on innovative diamond bearings. With this innovation, bearings would have lower friction, better temperature characteristics and a longer life due to the increased hardness capability. All of this has its effect on reducing CO2, NOx and noise, which is beneficial for both human and nature.
