Design
High speed ball bearings, with smaller rolling elements, HS bearings are able to withstand higher rotating speed than the standard design.

Inner and outer rings
Standard bearing steel with a content of carbon and chromium was selected and hardened to withstand the intense pressure between the rolling elements and bearing rings.
Carbonitriding on both inner and outer rings is a basic hardening process for TPI high speed ball bearings. Through this special heat treatment, hardness on the raceway surface is increased; which reduces wear accordingly.
Ultra-clean steel is available in some of TPI ball bearings manufacturers' product series now, higher wear-resistance is obtained accordingly. Since contact fatigue is often caused by hard non-metallic inclusions, high speed ball bearings nowadays require exceptional levels of cleanliness.

Rolling element
High precision steel balls ensure TPI's high speed ball bearings have the best precision and stability. This also reflects in bearing performance under high speed rotation.
A ceramic ball is an additional option when it comes to severe operating conditions. Extreme high speed rotation, heavy-duty applications, and high heat generation while operating are some situations that ceramic balls that can definitely help.

Cage
With the highly engineered arrangement of cages, remarkable characteristics were achieved.

T1 cage, desinged for the requirement of high RPM and stable temperature rise.
T2 cage, desinged for low noise level, however, the temperature rise in high RPM is relatively high.
T3 cage, improvement of T2 cage, it's not only applicable to high RPM operation but also remain low noise level under low RPM.

Seal
The non-contact seal provides general protection for high speed ball bearings. It cannot prevent liquid contamination from getting into the high speed ball bearings. Torque and limiting speeds are the same as the open type.

Grease
For HS series bearings, grease selection must focus on the grease viscosity and penetration. Since the rotating speed of HS series bearing application is normally higher than standard series, bearing lubrication and heat generation shall be carefully considered during grease selection.

Life
Bearing life is usually expressed as the number of hours an individual bearing will operate before material fatigue develops on either the raceways or the rolling element. The usual life rating for industrial applications is called “L10” life. The L10 life is the number of hours which that 90% of bearings will survive; or, conversely, 10% of bearings will have failed in the L10 number of service hours.
