Friction & Longevity Solutions for the Hard Disk Drive Market
Longevity Assured
Longevity assured data is important – whether personal or business. Consumers need to be able to trust in a brand of Hard Disk Drive they choose, knowing that the data they depend on for business or the treasured memories they store will be kept safe into the future.
Controlled Friction
When it comes to Hard Disk Drive components, small parts can make a big difference. When mounting the actuator arm, unreliable processes for mechanical fixation (by grouting or screwing) can lead to an increased radial load of the very sensitive bearing components. This can change the friction and cause damaging torque ripple. Therefor a smooth fixation of bearings components is mandatory to allowing the reading head to move over the disk at high speed and with perfect precision.
Longevity Assured
Manufacturers must deliver robust, long-lasting products to inspire confidence and earn trust. Single components are not allowed to be displaced or loosened and jeopardize their function also at strong vibrations a Hard Disk Drive is facing over lifetime.
By working with our customers, we’ve developed a RENCOL® Tolerance Ring keeping components in place and enabling optimum Performance for the life of the drive even under harsh conditions.
