Bearing traceability
09 January 2014
At NSK’s state of the art production facility in Newark, UK, where the super precision bearings are manufactured, a new barcode system allows every single bearing to carry details about its manufacture.

The introduction of two dimensional barcodes has allowed a much greater amount of information to be stored within a barcode, so instead of just a serial number or batch number, now it is possible to include manufacturing dates, axial run-out and radial run-out figures as well as preload information and machining data.
All of this can now be laser etched into every single bearing, which enables both NSK and customers alike to have near instant access to this crucial information.
