General Information

Ovako 837 is a through hardening bearing steel that is mainly used for medium sized bearing rings, but can also be used for machine components that require high tensile strength and high hardness.

  • 30 mm maximum wall thickness for through hardening
  • Used for martensitic hardening
  • Can be induction hardened
  • Good machinability in soft annealed condition
  • Machinable in hardened condition using hard-turning techniques (CBN tools)
  • Very good dimension stability

837R - Bearing quality (BQ) variant

837S - Variant with a controlled high sulphur content for enhanced low speed machining

5625 / 837Z - A continous cast variant

 

BQ-Steel®

BQ-steel® is a bearing quality clean steel optimized for fatigue strength and is also ideal for new design solutions outside the bearing industry.
