Evaluating the Roughness of Raceway Grooves in the Inner and Outer Rings of a Ball Bearing

Application

Bearing balls roll at high speed through the raceway formed by grooves in the inner and outer rings of a ball bearing assembly. In quality control, it is important to accurately evaluate the roughness of both the balls and the grooves.
If a conventional microscope is used to evaluate roughness, the working distance of the objective lenses may be too short to allow clear focusing on the bottom of the grooves, which can prevent accurate measurement.

Solution

The LEXT OLS5000 laser scanning microscope enables clearly focused, 3D measurement of roughness on raceway grooves over long working distances.

LEXT OLS5000 product features

The LEXT OLS5000 microscope is equipped with dedicated long working distance objective lenses suitable for roughness measurement on grooves up to 6.5 mm deep.
