HIGHER LOAD CAPACITY
The only bearing with load capacity of 17,000psi in the intermediate and 10,200psi in the overlay
BETTER FATIGUE RESISTANCE

MORE ACCURACY
The only bearings with wall thickness variation of ±.0001” as a standard in comparison to ±0.00025”. 
MORE CONSISTENCY
from bearing to bearing, requiring less adjustment during assembly
ONE SET FITMENT
The only bearings that don’t require you to buy multiple sets to achieve desired oil clearance
