 Quality Assurance Management

Roundness with uniform distribution of bearing

loads ensuring longer service life.

Control of surface hardness, Vickers micro

hardness, metallography and structural
characteristics of the hardened layer,
measurements of chrome layer (thickness,
number of micro cracks, chrome micro hardness)
in own laboratory.

Exceptional straightness and high quality

surface finish as valuable assets in linear motion
systems.

Cylindricity, diameter’s precision and uniform

distribution of the bearing load in the benefit
of the shaft’s ability to withstand the stress
loading.

 Storage and Handling

Storage and handling recommendations:

 Keep the products stored in dry and covered spaces.

 Always use gloves when handling the shafts.
 Do not expose for a long time the bars or tubes to the sunlight or to very low
temperatures.
 For storage, preferable to use rubber supports or wood lined supports; direct
contact with the floor and steel supports that aren’t lined with soft materials must
to be avoided.
 Whenever possible, please use the cranes to load or unload the bundles; when you
use the fork lifts please avoid the direct contact of the forks with the products.
 Always, lift the bundles using the textile slings. Don’t use metal slings during
handling of bundles.
 Keep always dry the cardboard tubes that protect the chromed products.
