These tubes require noise levels of 60db or less. Achieving these levels is very difficult for a rolling element bearing. All bearings are made from high hardness tool steels, with special coatings and unique designs to extend the life and improve performance of an X-ray tube. These assemblies often incorporate commercially available bearings. We also design and produce specialized integral assemblies, which utilize super precision bearings that are mated with components manufactured to extremely tight tolerances.
Integral assemblies provide the ultimate bearing solution by avoiding tolerance stack-ups.
If precise fits are required for system accuracy, we can match fit bearings and components for higher yields and total lower cost to you. Applications include assemblies for the computer, space flight, medical, dental and fuel control industries. It can produce to customer specifications or provide engineering services as required. These capabilities extend to virtually any type of mechanical motion assembly or sub-assembly where weight and space economics, plus high precision, are key elements. By virtue of its organization, technical skills, facilities, and extensive experience, the Gimbal Systems Group is equipped to engineer and produce precision devices to military quality standards and performance levels.
