TCS has improved the bearing design.
- The white metal layer has been
changed
from 0.3 mm into 35 – 40 µm to
increase
the fatigue strength.
- The white metal layer is Electroplated.

Main bolt connections


- If studs on the main connections are corroded or higher loads
to
the compressor parts are applicable due to new process
conditions
we recommend to changed them out for studs with Rolled
thread
- Rolled thread increases the fatigue strength 1.5 to 2 times.
