OPTIMAL USE OF THE ENTIRE BEARING BALLS

The transmission of loads in the bearing runs from the spintel through the balls to the Bottom bracket. In normal bearing cartridges, only the lower balls are the ones that are supporting all these forces. Our patented POWER SET® system ensures that all balls are under balanced loads. This way guarantees a smooth pedaling and a greater durability in the bottom bracket bearings.

+ STIFFNESS + DURABILITY + SMOOTHNESS

Angular contact ball bearings can carry on both axial and radial loads.  These bearing types are not separable; therefore, they are mounted in pairs.

In a standard single row radial bearings, only 3 or 4 balls make contact when you are pedaling. But with our patented preload system,  All balls are engaged and spread the force over a larger surface area, to decrease friction and minimize wear.

STABLE PRELOAD FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE

The amount of preload to be applied during the assembly has been determined carefully, taking into account several factors such as the required rigidity of the assembly, bearing life, friction of the bearing, as well as the load to be applied from the cyclist.

Thanks to the preload, the force is distributed among all the balls using the entire raceway to distribute the load.

MAKE IT SIMPLE, MAKE IT RELIABLE

Our exclusive double cup system allows our bottom brackets to have a perfect perpendicularity between the bearings. Frames that have lower tolerances can create friction and durability problems. This results in a poor lifespan and high friction issues. The double cup system guarantees that the bearings will be perfectly aligned even in these cases.

Easy to install and remove, with only two parts that are superimposed one to the other. 

The central area is fixed by the tight contact of the two aluminum cups. This ensures maximum precision and protection against moisture and corrosion.

QUALITY IN THE PRODUCTION PROCESS

Our quality standards are critical in offering high-performance services and products. That is why our quality department is the vital importance in both production processes and communication between our employees.

HARDNESS – RESISTANCE – LIGHTNESS

High performance bearing experts. Ceramic ball bearing offer superior corrosion resistance, more dimensional stability, lower density, higher heat resistance. That translates in a more efficient material to work with in a bottom bracket. 

QUALITY PRODUCTS THAT ARE MADE TO LAST

That is why all the bb hubs we make have been normalized with heat treatments like T6. This process not only improves the lifespan, it also improves considerably its strengthen.

TOP CLASS 7075 ALUMINIUM ALLOY

We choose top class 7075 Aluminium alloy is classed as a very high strength aluminium aerospace alloy with superior stress corrosion resistance.
