King Engine Bearings MB5810SI0.5

Our TechLab R&D culture focuses on constant analysis of what can be done to support ever increasing race engine loads, and how to improve bearing durability. <br><br>One of those technologies is Alecular?.<br><br>KING developed the HP Series utilizing the Alecular? bi-metal structure. It consists of an aluminum|tin|silicon alloy top layer bonded onto a high strength steel back. Major benefits of the Alecular? structure are its ability to resist surface migration and extrusion under very high loads, including metal-to-metal contact, over short durations of time. Such conditions may be found in drag racing and monster truck competition.<br><br>The HP series was developed mainly for drag race and monster truck applications needing a material that is harder than a Babbitt top layer. These applications require a structure that can withstand high loads for short durations and still offer higher embedabilty and compatibility. In response, KING developed the HP Series featuring the Alecular? bi-metal structure.<br><br>The HP series is also suited for many performance applications using nodular cast iron crankshafts, such as street, strip and some levels of circle track racing.<br>
