Key Considerations

• Bearing design and manufacturing for vehicular steering suspension applications are particularly challenging due to the harsh environmental conditions in which the bearings must successfully operate. Kilian overcomes these application challenges with time-tested designs that provide excellent performance.
• Bearings are specifically designed for the unique application parameters.
• Materials, heat treatment, plating, lubrication and part geometry are selected for each component based on application criteria.
• Proprietary lubrications, engineered plastics, custom race geometries, and electroplating are individually specified to satisfy each customer’s unique performance requirements.
