  Improved & Safer HDD Assembly with Tolerance Rings
  A major percentage of the scrap costs incurred during the assembly process in hard disk drives occurs by having to throw away crucial -- and expensive -- items such as the head, arm and bearing pivot if the overall drive fails. When a RENCOL® tolerance ring is used, it is possible to isolate the failed component, remove, reassembly, and then re-clean and ready to go into another drive. This ability to remove the bearing pivot and re-install allows the OEM to relize these savings. Simply put... (read more)

  Bearings Run Cooler with Tolerance Rings
  Tolerance Rings Help Bearings Run Cooler in High-RPM Motors.  . Problem:   High-RPM motors can cause the bearings to run at high temperature, and the heat is trapped by the rubber boot. This allows the grease to break down, shortening bearing life. Also, variation in durometer readings of the rubber boot can affect spring rate, allowing unwanted side movement of the bearing under a load. CLICK HERE to see the solution.  .
