View MoreJiangsu Yinghong Transmission Technology Co., Ltd. (YHU) is a professional SUS440 stainless steel bearings manufacturer and Wholesale SUS440 Stainless Steel Bearings Factory. We produce high-precision deep groove ball bearings in S60, S62, S63, S68 and S69 series from martensitic SUS440 stainless steel. These bearings give plant engineers and procurement teams a hardened, corrosion-resistant alternative to chrome steel in equipment exposed to humidity, washdown and mildly corrosive media.
Our SUS440 range is one branch of the company's Stainless Steel Bearings family, supported by the same automated production lines, material controls and quality system used across the YHU brand. Whether you need a standard replacement bearing or a customized non-standard design, the engineering starting point is the same: match the material, heat treatment, sealing and precision to the real operating condition.
SUS440 is a high-carbon martensitic stainless steel. After hardening and tempering, it provides substantially higher surface hardness and wear resistance than austenitic grades such as SUS304 and SUS316, while retaining useful corrosion resistance for humid and mildly aggressive environments. This combination makes SUS440 a common choice for rotating assemblies that need stainless cleanliness without giving up load capacity or fatigue life.
Because SUS440 is magnetic and has lower corrosion resistance than SUS316, it is not the best answer for every job. For saltwater, strong chlorine, or food-contact acidic washes, SUS316 Stainless Steel Bearings or special stainless steels are usually a better fit. For lighter-duty, highly corrosive applications, SUS304 Stainless Steel Bearings may be preferred. We commonly help customers compare these grades before finalizing a bearing number.
Material selection is the main variable in a stainless bearing project. The table below summarizes how we position SUS440 inside the range.
| Material | Hardness and wear | Corrosion resistance | Typical deep groove use |
|---|---|---|---|
| SUS440 | High hardness and wear resistance after heat treatment | Moderate; suited to humidity, washdown, mild chemicals | S60, S62, S63, S68, S69 general purpose stainless series |
| SUS420 | High hardness, lower carbon than 440 | Moderate | Hardened stainless series in the same envelope |
| SUS304 | Soft; not hardened by heat treatment | Good general corrosion resistance | Light-duty, highly corrosive, non-magnetic requirements |
| SUS316 | Soft; not hardened by heat treatment | Excellent, especially against chlorides and seawater | Marine, chemical, food and pharmaceutical duty |
Within the SUS440 deep groove range, we manufacture the S60, S62, S63, S68 and S69 series. The S prefix identifies a stainless bearing; the number follows the same dimensional series logic used across metric deep groove ball bearings.
Each series can be supplied open, with metal shields (ZZ), with contacting or non-contacting rubber seals (RS/2RS), and with different cage and grease options. We select the sealing arrangement according to speed, temperature, dust and moisture exposure, and assembly method.
Yinghong is a National High-Tech Enterprise and professional precision special bearing manufacturer in China. Our factory area exceeds 15,000 square meters, and SUS440 production runs on automated lines with high-precision testing equipment. We apply Japanese precision manufacturing technology to hold consistent geometry, low noise and low vibration across production batches.
Quality control covers the complete process from incoming material to finished bearing. Bearing precision, running noise, vibration, sealing integrity, wear resistance and corrosion resistance are verified in our testing system before products leave the factory. The company holds IATF 16949, RoHS, CE and SGS certifications, which are relevant documentation for automotive, industrial and export projects.
YHU SUS440 bearings are specified across electric motors, power tools, pneumatic tools, robotics, drones, household appliances, precision instruments, semiconductor equipment, medical devices, marine equipment, aerospace applications, financial equipment, textile machinery and fishing equipment. The common requirement is corrosion resistance combined with the hardness and dimensional stability needed for reliable rotation.
For assembly lines, we can define the bearing's grease fill, cleanliness, sealing direction, and packaging so that the component feeds directly into automated press-fit stations. During project review we also confirm shaft and housing fits, radial clearance class, mounting tolerances and lubrication plan. These details are reflected in the drawing and approval sample before mass production.
Send us the following with your RFQ, and we will return a bearing proposal matched to the application:
For standard SUS440 series, we work from established tooling and inspection programs, which shortens sampling time for wholesale orders. For customized SUS440 bearings, we move from drawing review to prototype production, then mass delivery after sample approval. Acceptance criteria for serial supply are agreed in advance and can include dimensional reports, noise and vibration levels, sealing checks and material verification.
Packaging is planned around the bearing's lubrication and sealing. Open bearings are protected with rust preventive, sealed bearings are delivered with the specified grease fill, and export cartons are arranged to prevent moisture and handling damage during shipment.
SUS440 is a martensitic stainless steel that can be hardened to high hardness, so it suits higher loads and abrasive wear. SUS304 is austenitic, softer, and more corrosion-resistant, but it is not hardenable. We recommend based on the load and chemical environment of your machine.
Yes. We supply open, shielded and sealed configurations. The seal lip material and grease are selected for temperature, speed and media exposure.
We manufacture S60, S62, S63, S68 and S69 deep groove series, plus custom envelopes, flanged versions and stainless steel thrust and angular contact bearings using the same material discipline.
We maintain IATF 16949, RoHS, CE and SGS documentation. For serial orders we can include the relevant inspection and material documents with the shipment.
Send the bearing reference or drawing, operating loads, speed, temperature, environment, required precision and clearance, sealing preference and annual quantity. That allows us to configure the correct series and material grade.
SUS440 provides good hardness and moderate corrosion resistance, but for frequent acidic washes or salt exposure SUS316 or a special stainless steel is often more suitable. We evaluate the duty before quoting.
