I. Core Characteristics of SKL Stainless Steel Bearings for Precision Instruments

1. Ultraprecision Dimensional Accuracy Fabricated from highpurity 440C stainless steel with P4 ultraprecision class. Raceways are superfinished with Ra ≤ 0.0005 μm and radial runout ≤ 0.8 μm, eliminating rotational deviation that distorts measurement readings.

2. Longterm Corrosionresistant Stability Martensitic stainless steel substrate achieves zero corrosion after 72hour saltspray testing. Suitable for humid laboratory environments with trace acidalkali fumes, preventing seizure and accuracy drift caused by corrosion.

3. Lownoise & Microvibration Performance for Detection Integrated brass cage with a friction coefficient of only 0.02. Operating vibration amplitude ≤ 0.002 mm, free of noise interference for optical and sensor detection modules.

4. Lowmagnetism & Clean Operation Lowpermeability material avoids interference with internal instrument lasers and magnetic sensors, meeting requirements for micronlevel precision measurement environments.
