ROHS COMPLIANCE & BEARINGS
WHAT IS THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF THE BEARING STEEL FOR THE BEARINGS THAT RITBEARING SUPPLIES?
The vast majority of the bearings that Ritbearing supplies are made from 100Cr6 steel. This follows the standards according to AISI 52100, JIS SUJ 2, and DIN 1.3505.
Ritbearing also offers products in stainless steel. If you require further information on the chemical composition of products supplied by Ritbearing, please contact us at 1-800-431-1980.
WHICH RITBEARING PRODUCT LINES ARE ROHS COMPLIANT?
All Ritbearing product lines are RoHS compliant. Ritbearing works with our suppliers throughout Europe and Asia to make sure they are compliant and that they meet the customer’s demands.
WILL MANUFACTURERS PACKAGING SHOW ROHS COMPLIANCE?
At this time, our suppliers do not state RoHS compliance on their master containers. If Ritbearing customers require this, we can work with the supplier to meet this demand.
