BRAND OVERVIEW - EZO

TFL Bearings: High quality bearings, an ideal choice to replace EZO.

The Seiko Inheritance from Hokkaido

EZO originated from Ashibetsu, Hokkaido, and was established by Mr. Eiichi Kobayashi in 1969. Due to its exquisite craftsmanship and sincere attitude, it quickly gained recognition.

In 1977, the first batch of EZO products was exported to Europe and the United States. In a short period of time, EZO has embarked on rapid development and expansion. Currently, EZO has a parent factory the size of 13 football fields which ensures a production capacity of 12 million bearings per month. It has become one of the world’s leading bearing brands.

Dominance in the Miniature Bearings Industry

Imagine a bearing with an bore diameter of only 0.6mm. Such a tiny bearing can only be produced with extremely precise craftsmanship. EZO not only manufactures these miniature bearings but also ensures their performance.

This is the expertise of EZO as a leader in miniature bearings, in terms of miniaturization and dynamic performance. This skill is the differentiating advantage of EZO’s miniature bearings and the main reason for its success in this field. EZO’s miniature bearings are in an undisputed leading position worldwide: out of every 100 miniature bearings sold globally, 75 are from EZO.

Performance Beyond Limits

In addition to the precision of the bearings, the stability of EZO bearings is also one of its manufacturing advantages, mainly manifested in high efficiency, extremely low friction and noise, as well as a longer service life. This top-level performance is supported by extremely strict quality standards and has obtained the extremely strict ISO/TS 16949 certification.

The basic material of EZO bearings is vacuum degassed high-carbon chromium steel, which has excellent performance and is crucial for the high efficiency, low torque, low noise and extended service life of the bearings. For specific applications requiring corrosion and heat resistance, EZO uses improved KS440 stainless steel and special coatings, which perform better and are more durable than common 440C.

What sealing forms are available for EZO bearings?

EZO bearings typically offer two main types of seals: contact seals (such as 2RS/LU) and non-contact seals (2RU/LB).

Contact seals (2RS/LU): This type of seal is designed to physically contact the inner ring of the bearing. The main advantage is that it provides excellent protection against the entry of external contaminants, making them highly suitable for use in harsh or contaminated environments.
Non-contact seals (2RU/LB): In contrast, this type of seal is designed with a small gap between the seal and the inner ring, meaning they do not come into contact during operation. This design reduces internal friction and makes them more suitable for high-speed applications, but they may allow a small amount of contaminants to enter.
