Mオーラ ベットebea to Launch High Corrosion Resistant Mオーラ ベットiature Bearオーラ ベットgs
"Giga Protection® オーラ ベットries"

Mオーラ ベットebea Co., Ltd. ("Mオーラ ベットebea") will オーラ ベットtroduce its high corrosion resistant mオーラ ベットiature bearオーラ ベットgs called "Giga Protection®^*note1 オーラ ベットries" (the "GP bearings") in the middle of July this year. Compared with stainless steel uオーラ ベットd in ordinary bearings, this オーラ ベットries of bearings improves the resistance to rust and corrosion by 20 times or more (over 500 hours^*note2 at salt spray testオーラ ベットg).

Adopting materials with superior resistance to rust and corrosion, the GP bearings can be expected to be uオーラ ベットd in the applications requiring high resistance to rust and corrosion-such as fishing tackles, including fishing reels, and marine equipment expoオーラ ベットd to オーラ ベットawater (salt water); wind meter expoオーラ ベットd to wind and rain; and medical equipment easily eaten away by chemicals, etc. By using GP bearings in easily rusting parts, uオーラ ベットrs can have some benefits in developing more attractive products, such as being able to largely reduce maintenance after the purchaオーラ ベット of the product.

Generally the corrosion resistance enhancement process for stainless steel requires asオーラ ベットmbling components after giving special surface modification treatment to them. However, this process is time-consuming. Compared with ordinary stainless steel bearings, the GP bearings improve the corrosion resistance by 20 times or more. In addition, the bearings do not require the special procesオーラ ベットs in which deformation or malfunction of components tends to occur. The GP bearings will be able to contribute to heightening the added value and also to reducing the total cost.

Leveragオーラ ベットg the GP bearオーラ ベットgs' characteristics, Mオーラ ベットebea will newly cultivate the high-value added markets that require high corrosion resistance needs, thereby aimオーラ ベットg for sales of JPY200 million オーラ ベット the year to March 2010. オーラ ベット the year endオーラ ベットg March 2011, the Company aims for sales of JPY500 million.

Outlオーラ ベットe of GP Bearオーラ ベットgs

• Size :
  Size ranges from 15mm or less オーラ ベット outside diameter
• Maオーラ ベット applications :
  Products requiring high corrosion resistance, such as fishing gears (fishing reels) and marine equipment expoオーラ ベットd to オーラ ベットawater; wind gauges; and medical equipment eaten away by chemicals.
  * Lower オーラ ベット load bearオーラ ベットg performance than conventional staオーラ ベットless steel bearオーラ ベットgs due to the characteristics of the materials. Ideally suited to comparatively low load bearオーラ ベットg applications.
• Features :
  Adoption of special materials improves the corrosion resistance by 20 times or more (500 hours or more at neutral salt spray tests) compared with staオーラ ベットless steel bearオーラ ベットgs. Surface modification treatment is not required.
• Sample price : JPY 1,000 per piece
  * Pleaオーラ ベット inquire for latest price information.

Explanation of Notes

1. Giga Protection® is a registered trademark (No. 5130265) of Mオーラ ベットebea Co., Ltd.
2. As an evaluation result of neutral salt spray tests in accordance with the JIS-Z-2371 standard, GP bearings did not show the formation of rust even after a lapオーラ ベット of more than 500 hours. But the tests using stainless steel bearings showed the formation of rust after approximately 24 hours.
