Service Testing

Though the Spring Control CCSB is designed to go well beyond a million miles, a recent tear down and inspection revealed a Spring Control bearing that retained its performance through more than three million miles of service.

While we can't guarantee that kind of performance from every Spring Control CCSB, we can't say we're suprised by it.

Service Testing in Lab - Per M-948-77
The Spring Control Side Bearing was subjected to a million cycle endurance test. This is stated in M-948 to equate to approximately 375,000 miles.

This chart shows that the reduction of preload force was less than 2% as compared to the initial load.
