Sugawara’s Race Wavimeter is a specialized instrument designed for rapid and precise measurements of waviness and roundness on both the inner and outer race surfaces of rings within ball bearings. It does this by using a specially designed spindle to rotate a ring at several hundred rpm while detecting the vibration speed with a contact sensor and displaying the waviness and roundness on the screen of a Synchro Wave Analyzer.
This innovative technology revolutionizes quality control and performance optimization in bearing manufacturing processes. By swiftly and accurately assessing the surface characteristics of bearing components, Sugawara’s Race Wavimeter ensures the production of high-quality bearings essential for the smooth operation of machinery across various industries. Its capability to provide detailed insights into both waviness and roundness marks a significant advancement in bearing inspection, promising enhanced reliability and efficiency in mechanical systems worldwide.
