FYH Bearings

FYH is the oldest and largest manufacturer of mounted ball bearing units in Japan. They began production of industrial mounted units for the Japanese market in 1950, and since then, have established themselves as a leading manufacturer of mounted units worldwide.

 

Decades of experience have led to the development of myriad advancements including automated production for individual self-aligning structure bearings which has allowed FYH to control and fabricate high quality metallic and ceramic bearings while adhering to extremely strict guidelines and tolerances. These manufacturing techniques, in conjunction with the utilization of high quality materials, are what truly set FYH apart from the competition.

 

FYH continually conducts extensive research and development activities in an effort to fabricate mounted bearing units which can operate without maintenance even under the most demanding situations in applications such as the ocean and space technology sectors. Their ongoing research is specifically focused on the improvement of the Ceraball series under this all-encompassing ideology.

What does FYH Japan have to offer?

FYH, a leading manufacturer of mounted ball bearings in the world, is the oldest and largest manufacturer of these bearing units in Japan. Their strong reputation is built on years of experience, consistent improvement in production techniques, thus giving their customers the best and most reliable bearing units in the market, and their concentration on quality which makes their products sturdy and dependable across different applications. FYH Japan provides a wide selection of mounted units, which is offered to fit any application amongst different industries. What sets FYH products apart are their unique features:

–  Supreme Load Capacity and Accuracy: FYH Ball Bearing units internal structure is designed to withstand high loads and operate smoothly across a wide range of speeds.

Rational Self-Aligning Mechanism and Optimal Fit: Given the environment these bearing units operate in, even a slight deviation can sometimes halt operations due to bearing failure. FYH’s bearing units are made to self-adjust for shaft deviation and reduce abnormal bearing load. This feature, therefore, helps enhance the life of a bearing.

Superior Sealing Performance: The standard FYH Bearing Units are fitted with ‘FloBack seals’ that not only prevent grease from leaking out, thus increasing lubrication performance, but also perform extremely well at keeping contamination like dust particles, water etc. from entering into the unit. This unique technology not only increases bearing life but also increases overall efficiency and optimization of the machine by reducing down time.

Highly rigid and rugged cast iron housings: FYH Ball Bearing units are designed to remain sturdy and reduce deformation caused by load or stress. FYH’s highly advanced technique uses the best casting material for its units in order to provide stability and reduce vibration, thus extending the life of the bearing. FYH strives to make its units stronger and lighter to increase overall efficiency for its clients.

Simple Lubrication: FYH bearings are pre-lubricated and do not need additional grease at the time of installation, ensuring quicker installation of the bearing unit. Additionally, their grease is designed to accommodate a wide range of operating conditions.

Convenient installation and handling: FYH Ball Bearing Units are interchangeable with many of its different models and can be bolted to machinery without any modification. No additional lubrication or seal installation is required, thus making handling easier and drastically reducing downtime. The bearing units come in 4 different locking mechanisms: set screw, eccentric locking collar, tapered adapter and concentric collar.

A wide range for different operating conditions: FYH Bearing Units are designed to operate in different conditions and environments and can help increase the overall reliability of the machinery. The range of series include: High/Low Temperature Series; Corrosion Resistant Series like stainless steel and plastic series; Air Handling Series; Dust Resistant Series; Dirt Resistant Series; Tougher Casting Series and Compact/Light Weight Series.

Technology and Engineering

FYH bearings are designed with severe operating conditions in mind where high-speed rotation and heavy loads are regularly encountered. Nearly 700 kinds of bearings and 300 types of housings are available in their product line. Therefore, several thousand different combinations of mounted units and inserts are annually produced and supplied to the world market to meet a vast range of applications and industries.

Quality

FYH abides by stringent Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) for selection of materials and production methods and, in contrast to today’s commercially available bearings, their products’ surface finishing state is beyond that of JIS bearing specifications.

Competitive Advantage

The capability to manufacture both bearing inserts and housings from start to finish under the same roof has allowed FYH to pioneer many technological advancements in mounted bearing design. Through a proprietary housing bore machining process, FYH is able to maintain a “J” tolerance fit between the bearing insert and the housing which produces a perfect fit between both components. This critical design element ensures that the shape of the housing bore is more cylindrical and spherical than competitive designs. This important feature prevents the bearing from being too loose within the housing or from being squeezed both radially and axially, and it specifically translates to longer bearing life through reduced wear and vibration. The special J-fit feature allows every bearing to be 100% interchangeable with virtually any housing.
