The Manufacturing Process Is Divided Into Following Stages
Selection of Raw Materials

V.KAN.EXPORT prioritizes quality from the outset. We exclusively use SAE 52100 Steel, meeting global standards, for crafting CAN bearings. This steel is integrated into all components, including races, cages, and rolling elements, ensuring uniformity for optimal performance and durability across applications.

Our commitment to excellence extends to cage construction. Crafted from CRC material, our cages adhere to international standards. Customers also have the option to choose between brass or glass-filled polyamide compositions, providing flexibility while maintaining quality.

At V.KAN.EXPORT, quality is not just a goal; it's our standard. By employing top-grade materials like SAE 52100 Steel and adhering to global standards throughout production, we consistently exceed customer expectations for reliability and performance.

Quality Check

Before production, SAE 52100 Steel undergoes meticulous examination by expert metallurgists to verify its chemical composition. Metallurgical testing ensures the steel meets stringent quality standards vital for bearing manufacturing.

This process involves analyzing the steel's chemistry, assessing its elemental composition and impurity levels, which directly impact the mechanical properties of the final product. Advanced techniques such as spectroscopy and microscopy are employed to assess the steel's composition and internal structure.

Once the steel passes these tests and meets the required standards, manufacturing proceeds confidently. This ensures bearings crafted from SAE 52100 Steel maintain consistent quality and performance, meeting the diverse needs of industrial applications.

In summary, thorough metallurgical testing of SAE 52100 Steel is essential to guarantee the reliability and durability of bearings. By confirming the steel's chemistry beforehand, manufacturers uphold high-quality standards and provide dependable products to customers.

Forging & Annealing

Forging is a metal shaping process that utilizes heat and impact to shape metal into desired forms. This method is specifically applied to SAE 52100 Steel to ensure precise shaping and achieve the desired form.

Annealing, on the other hand, is a heat treatment process involving heating and cooling of bearings. This treatment aims to enhance the ductility of the bearings, making them more pliable for shaping into various configurations. By increasing the ductility through annealing, the bearings become more adaptable and easier to mold into the desired shape, ensuring flexibility in manufacturing processes.

In summary, forging and annealing are essential processes in the production of bearings, ensuring that SAE 52100 Steel is shaped accurately and that the bearings possess the necessary ductility for molding into desired configurations. These processes contribute to the overall quality and functionality of the bearings, meeting the diverse needs of industrial applications.

CNC Turning

After the forging process, the material undergoes turning using automatic CNC Machines. Renowned globally for their reliability and enhanced productivity, these machines excel in manufacturing intricate components with unparalleled precision and accuracy.

Automatic CNC Machines are instrumental in transforming forged material into finished products. Their advanced capabilities enable them to execute intricate turning operations with utmost efficiency, ensuring each component meets the highest standards of accuracy and perfection.

The use of automatic CNC Machines streamlines the manufacturing process, allowing for the production of complex components with precision and consistency. This technology-driven approach enhances productivity while maintaining the integrity of the final product.

In summary, the utilization of automatic CNC Machines after forging enables efficient and precise turning operations, contributing to the creation of high-quality components with unparalleled accuracy and perfection.

Heat Treatment

Each component of the bearing, including the inner and outer races, rings, and rollers, undergoes heat treatment to enhance wear resistance. The inner and outer races are hardened to a hardness range of 58 to 62 HRC, adhering to international standards.

Quality Check

The bearing races and rolling elements undergo hardness testing using specialized equipment for quality assurance.

Adoption of Standard Dimensions

The dimensions of a bearing are crucial for its performance and usability, encompassing the inner diameter, outer diameter, and width. At CAN Bearings, these dimensions adhere strictly to international standards, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility.

Grinding

The grinding process consists of four stages:

  1. Face Grinding: Utilizing a duplex machine, components are checked for size variations, flatness, roughness, and parallelism.
  2. OD Grinding: Material is examined for 2-point ovality, 3-point ovality, and roundness in this stage.
  3. Track Grinding: The track's size, curvatures, taper, eccentricity, roughness, 2-point ovality, and 3-point ovality are inspected during this stage.
  4. ID Grinding: Using an electronic measuring system called the Marposs system, size variations are controlled. The system ensures precision in terms of ovality, roughness, roundness, and other errors.
Super Finishing

Following the grinding process, we utilize Honing and Lapping machines to decrease the Roughness Average (Ra) value on the Track, ensuring a super-finished surface on bearing components.

Cleaning & Assembly

Following the superfinishing process, all races and rolling elements undergo ultrasonic washing to remove any remaining dirt and dust. Subsequently, the components are meticulously assembled to meet specific customer requirements, utilizing a fully automatic assembly line for precision and excellence.

Packing

Once the components are assembled, bearings are carefully and securely packaged under hygienic conditions. First, the bearings are oiled to provide protection against various atmospheric effects, and then they are securely wrapped in plastic bags. Subsequently, they are placed in individual boxes, which are then consolidated into a master box for transportation.

Warehousing
Our warehouse is operational with the most advanced & innovative storage facilities catering to scientific storage of the manufactured bearings. Furthermore, the dedicated personnel pay high attention to prevent rust formation on the metallic bearings, refraining them from performance depreciation.
Research and Development
