Axial bearing
Medical technology – Case study axial bearing for medical pump

Maximum surface quality for flawless functionality

The outer diameter of the ball cup is 1.3 mm with tolerances of ±0.005 mm

Total size
1.3 × 2.0 mm

Zirconium oxide,
the perfect material

Due to its biocompatibility, hardness, corrosion resistance and aesthetics, zirconium oxide is ideally suited for numerous medical applications

The axial bearing for medical pumps has a high precision, spherical inner shape with perfect surface quality

Polished surface on the inner shape with an 
Ra value of 0.008 µm

The theoretical radius of the inner shape deviates deviates by a maximum of 0.4 µm

The high surface quality ensures low friction 
and therefore high pump efficiency

This is how 32 billion revolutions can be guaranteed
