SHX Steel

SHX is a heat-resistant & wear resistant steel resulting from NSK’s special proprietary materials & heat treatment technology; it offers unrivalled ultra high-speed performance and extended fatigue life ideally suited for machine tools running to their maximum capacity.

Condition Description

  • High Temperature
  • Low Friction
  • Lubrication
  • Wear

Applications

  • Machine Tools

Features

  • NSK’s Patented special steel.
  • Special heat treatment process offering superior hardness.
  • SHX material for angular contact bearings is complemented with ceramic balls as standard.
  • SHX material rollers available for cylindrical roller bearings; a cost effective solution over the use of ceramic rollers whilst delivering up to 85% of the ceramic speed (Over 2 Million dmn (= Bearing mean diameter (mm) X speed (rpm)).

    No other bearing company can offer an alternative material to rival the performance of a ceramic hybrid roller bearing.

Benefits

  • Sub surface & surface fatigue life resistance increase by 4 times.
  • 20% higher speed compared to standard bearing steel.
  • Enhanced service life under low / poor lubrication regime.
  • Similar heat resistance to Aerospace M50 steel (300°C).
  • Lower friction performance & indentation resistance.
  • Superior wear resistance is especially important for high speed applications, such as grinding operations, where ball / raceway slippage can occur.
