KML Premium Grade Ball Bearings

Simplicity in design
Consistency in performance
Value for money


Low noise ball bearing is the most popular selection of bearing for 3-phase standard electric motors and commercial electric motors for domestic appliances because of its simple and maintenance free arrangement.
Although load at shaft end is rarely known to motor manufacturers, operational load in most cases are widely believed to be lower than the permissible load of the selected bearing. Hence, KML design put more emphasis to grease service life than fatigue life of electric motor bearings.
Grease
Service life of an electric motor bearing can be understood as the grease service life as fatigue is seldom the root cause of failure.
In order to ensure that proper bearing function is sustained by the initial grease quantity in the bearing, extra attention has been paid to the selection of grease type, cleanliness, appropriate quantity & installation conditions.
Chevron SRI # 2 grease is the standard grease of KML premium grade ball bearing because of its proven performance in wide temperature range (-30/ +150), water resistance and quiet running.
More is not always better. Grease quantity of KML premium grade ball bearing is about 25% on the free internal space of a bearing.
Enclosure
Although both shield and seal-type ball bearings are widely used by motor manufacturers, it is advisable to use full enclosure type of sealed-bearings for motor maintenance and repair purposes because of its higher effectiveness in retaining grease while excluding contaminant.

Light contact triple lip seals are duly designed for premium grade ball bearings to tackle the combination of factors, namely low torque and good enclosure. Seal has to give due respect to low friction torque, which is the main factor accounting for the efficiency of domestic appliance electric motors. On the other hand, it has to be tight enough to eliminate grease contamination & leakage.

The light contact triple lip seals in blue color are made of Hydrogenated Nitrile Rubber material with the operation temperature from -40 to +150.
Our Practices
Quiet running is achieved not only by dimensional accuracy ABEC 3, but also by a good combination of high precision steel ball, filtered grease, clearance and cleanliness of raceway.
Premium grade ball bearings are 100% noise tested after greasing to ensure that the grease is free of contaminants that to cause premature wear.
Tight tolerance of inner bore for better compatibility to shafts and better resultant clearance maintained after assembly.
Internal modifications and design of KML bearings are fully tested and homologated by test rigs for reliable performance.
KML cares
KML premium ball bearings are in compliance with RoHS directives.
Non-toxic ink and recycle paper is used for our packaging materials.
Ex-stock availability
Regular stocks of premium grade ball bearings are kept to satisfy the customers' requirements of immediate delivery & small quantities.

Aftermarket Solution
------- KML offer automotive wheel bearings for maintenance
Automotive wheel bearings would be worn off after a long operation. Dismantling bearings from wheel hubs time after time could distort both the hubs and shafts. That make standard bearings cannot be mounted perfectly any more.
For this special wheel maintenance aftermarket, KML have developed some non-standard bearings with bigger outer ring dimension or smaller inner ring dimension to fit in the distorted wheel hubs or shafts. KML offer non-standard bearings according to the distortion of hubs or shafts. These bearings, used in wheels of vehicles, trucks and trailers, include double row angular contact ball bearings, inch size tapered roller bearings and metric size tapered roller bearings.

Spring Festival
The Origin of Chinese New Year
The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Beginning of Spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coordination with the changes of Nature). New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving.
Its origin is too old to be traced. Several explanations are hanging around. One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared. Until one day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue Nian, and let people began to enjoy their peaceful life. Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most.
From then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation. However, people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this, except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement of the celebration.
Auspicious words in Spring Festival
Treasures fill the home
Business flourishes
Peace all year round
Wishing you prosperity
Harmony brings wealth
May all your wishes
come true
Everything goes well
The country flourishes and
people live in peace
Money and treasures
will be plentiful
Wishing you every success
Promoting to a higher position
Safe trip wherever you go
My Special Spring Festival
Instead of having the Spring Festival together with my parents at my far northwest home after a long trip as usual, I had it together with a small team in South Africa. The team was composed of 16 people from Sunmotion. It is worthwhile explaining that the Africa trip was the prize of 2006 Excellent Employees of Sunmotion in which the winners could enjoy the trip with their spouses. I was lucky to be one of them. My wife was much more excited than me because it was her first trip aboard. It was my first trip shared with my wife aboard as well; the same as other 8 couples. It was a rare opportunity for us.
February 17 was the Chinese New Years Eve. We arrived at the destination in Johannesburg called "the most dangerous city in the world" after a long 22-hourflight. A short course about safety given by the tour guide refreshed us from falling asleep suddenly when we landed. In the following two days, we visited the Sun City, Pilanesberg National Park and Pretoria that is the administrative, political, economical and cultural center. We saw different sceneries there if compared with Guangzhou: not many skyscrapers and different suburban sights. We enjoyed the site visit in the tropical grassland and the close observation of wild animals in a traveling bus. On the other hand, we could experience the modernization of metropolis, prosperous city, luxury palaces, exotic atmosphere, advanced traffic and tourism facilities that constitute a unique picture of South Africa. It is known that Africa's population is less than one thirtieth of China while the area is one eighth of China. It is not difficult to understand why Africa looks very open in such case.
In Johannesburg, we took one day in our schedule to visit our sole agent in South Africa. We visited their two retail shops in Johannesburg in addition to headquarter. We understood how our KML products were distributed to every corner of South Africa via their 51 retails shops. I would like to express the appreciation to Mr. Tony Paten and Mr. Alan Ross who organized a grand dinner on Feb 19 (the second day of Chinese New Year). We spent a wonderful night with excellent wine, delicious dishes and hospitality aboard.
We spent the last day in Cape Town. It is located at the southern tip of South Africa, and is considered as an African pearl on the sea. The scenery in there is charming: fishing villages, vineyards, beautiful sideways and the beautiful beaches. The name 'Cape of Good Hope' was frequently appeared in our geography books in middle school. It was the end of the rainbow for me. There was a desert with rocks, bushes and thorns instead of trees, houses and residents. The only 'residents' there are ostriches, beavers, baboons and etc, waiting on the road for tourists' food. The only artificial scenewas that there was a directory marked with 'Cape of Good Hope' in both English and South Africa language. We took a picture together and cried out ' We are here!' facing to the sea. We walked towards the lighthouse of Cape Town under scorching sunshine. We saw a directory showing the straight-line distance to Beijing was 12933km. We saw underfoot roaring waves of the endless sea. At that moment, I admired the Portuguese Marines very much for their brave exploration of South Africa continent.
What amazing me a lot in this trip was the Chinese language skill of local residents. When we were buying some small gifts in shops, we asked 'how much?' in English. They could answer the prices in Chinese. They are friendly and had smiling faces. I gained a lot from this short trip. All of us spent a very meaningful Spring Festival together!
