The most reliable penetration depths with the same laser power are the main advantages and economical way to achieve this is to mount a rotor positioning that make laser welding under negative pressure (see image) stand out bearing (RPB) combined with a sensor directly integrated in the ECU. So when compared to the conventional laser welding of components under SKF developed a new universal RPB design (see image) that is both axially atmospheric pressure. At the IZB, SITEC is presenting its latest systems in compact and robustly constructed, and which is also easily integrated into this area. Unlike electron beam welding, which requires a fine vacuum of current and future BSG designs. SKF‘s RPB has an envelope approximately 10 to 4 mbar, laser welding under negative pressure can be (encompassing both bearing and magnetic ring) that is similar to that of a carried out at pressures of 100 to 10 mbar. This leads to significantly lower standalone bearing. It is easy to press-fit onto the BSG shaft‘s existing costs and much less effort required for vacuum generation, as well as bearing location, adjacent to the ECU. Since the magnetic ring is mounted effectively reducing evacuation times. Laser welding under negative on top of the bearing outer ring, the axial length of the BSG is not badly pressure is particularly ideal for the production of rotationally symmetrical impacted by sensor integration.
