Sugawara’s ball wavimeter is a specialized instrument utilized in the assessment of the roundness and waviness of balls used in ball bearings. It does this by using a specially designed spindle to rotate a ball 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.
Employing advanced technology and precise measurement techniques, it manufacturers with crucial data to ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of bearings in diverse industrial applications. By meticulously analyzing the surface characteristics of individual balls, the ball wavimeter plays a pivotal role in maintaining stringent quality standards and optimizing the efficiency of machinery and mechanical systems.
