Application-led
Match the tube specification to the bearing process and downstream requirements.
Through-hardening tube supply for high-volume small-bearing production, with OD 19-73 mm and wall thickness 3–8 mm.
Finished tube stockBearing steel seamless tubes are primarily used to manufacture high-volume small bearings. Microtech focuses on this application rather than a general tube-trading catalogue.
Start the commercial conversation with the OD range, material grade, finished length, annual volume and the customer’s downstream bearing process.
