THK-NM1 is a specialized non-magnetic alloy designed for high-performance applications, particularly in bearing systems. It exhibits a relative permeability of less than 1.005, ensuring exceptional resistance to magnetization, making it suitable for use in environments with strong magnetic fields or in devices that manage charged particles. The alloy's hardness is optimized through advanced heat treatment, resulting in superior load-bearing capabilities compared to conventional non-magnetic austenitic steel. This allows for the design of more compact equipment, as smaller components can be utilized without compromising performance. Additionally, THK-NM1 provides smooth, precise motion with moderate elasticity, enabling preload application for high-precision operations. This combination of properties makes THK-NM1 an effective choice for engineers seeking reliable non-magnetic components in demanding applications.
THK-NM1 is a non-magnetic special alloy that has the degree of hardness necessary for bearings. Products made from this alloy offer excellent load rating, high precision, and low-friction motion in environments that require non-magnetic properties. It is also highly corrosion-resistant being comparable to titanium alloys.
