02 · Grade Guide

Choosing the right grade.

ISO 3290 grade number = max allowable deviation in micrometres. Lower grade = tighter tolerance = higher precision. Choose based on your bearing accuracy class (P0–P5) and operating speed.

G3 / G5 — Precision Bearing Grade

For high-precision angular contact bearings, spindle bearings, and gyroscope bearings. Max deviation ≤0.08µm (G3). Aerospace and semiconductor spindle applications.

G10 / G16 — High-Precision Grade

Standard for P4 and P2 bearing accuracy class. CNC spindle bearings, dental turbines, and precision instrument bearings.

G25 / G40 — Standard Engineering Grade

General-purpose bearings, ball screws, and pump check valves. P0–P6 accuracy class. Cost-effective for high-volume industrial applications.

G60 — Commercial Grade

For valve seats, flow metering, and applications where chemical or thermal resistance matters more than roundness tolerance.

04 · FAQ

The questions we get most.

Grade for my bearing?
Match to accuracy class: P2→G5, P4→G10–G16, P5→G16–G25, P0→G25–G60. Send bearing model number to confirm.
MOQ?
Stock sizes: no MOQ for samples. Custom <5mm: 200pc min. Large diameter >50mm: quote on request.
Si₃N₄ vs ZrO₂?
Si₃N₄: lighter (3.2 g/cm³), harder (HRC 78), better for high-speed/high-temp. ZrO₂: denser (6.0), tougher, better for corrosive media.
Surface finish?
Standard Ra ≤0.01µm (mirror). Custom Ra to specification. Lapping to P2/G3 on request.
Stock availability?
Common bearing ball sizes in both materials held in stock. Standard sizes dispatch within 48h.
Aerospace/medical certs?
Material cert with every shipment. XRF analysis available. AS9100 and medical traceability on OEM programs.
