Client Overview

Pakmarkas is an Italian integrated automation enterprise providing complete supporting parts for European photovoltaic power station projects, covering packaging lines, industrial conveyors and PV tracking reducers.

Standard Z1V1 bearings produced obvious humming and whistling under -35℃~70℃ outdoor temperature swings and frequent start-stop cycles; long static placement aged the rubber seals causing grease leakage, and wind-blown sand accelerated abrasive wear—blocking Pakmarkas's overseas PV bid progress.

Project Goals

Deliver customized ZV2 low-noise bearings with a wide-temperature sealing and lubrication system—3~5dB quieter than Z1V1—while meeting the strict shaft and housing tolerance requirements of PV tracking reducer assemblies for overseas solar plant bids.

Engineering Challenges

Wide Temperature Range

-35℃~70℃ day-night cycling makes grease viscosity fluctuate sharply, raising friction noise at low temperature.

Long Intermittent Static Operation

Frequent start-stop and idle cycles rapidly age rubber seals, leaking lubricant and causing dry friction.

Mass-Batch Silent Consistency

Large-volume PV projects demand uniform ZV2 noise and vibration performance across every delivered bearing.

Open-Air Sand Intrusion

Wind-blown sand particles penetrate gearboxes and accelerate raceway abrasive wear with noise surges.

Technical Solution

Mirror Superfinishing & 100% Vibration Screening

Superfinished raceways and balls cut harmonic noise; every ZV2 bearing passes 100% vibration screening for consistent silent output.

Weatherproof 2RS Double Contact Seal

Anti-aging rubber seal blocks sand and gear iron filings while locking long-life grease against dilution.

Wide-Temperature Non-Hardening Grease

Low-noise wide-temp grease stays fluid at -35℃ and resists thinning at 70℃ for stable silent torque.

C3 Clearance Day-Night Compensation

Large C3 radial clearance offsets thermal expansion and shrinkage from day-night swings, preventing seizure.

EGEN's ZV2 wide-temperature bearings kept our PV trackers quiet and clean for three outdoor seasons—key to winning overseas solar bids.

Achieved Results

After equipping EGEN 6220-2RS-ZV2 P6 bearings, PV tracking reducers stably cut running noise by 3–5dB under day-night high-low temperature cycles, ran 3 years outdoors with no abnormal noise, seal weatherproofing reached specification with grease-leakage failures dropped sharply, and Pakmarkas successfully won bulk supply bids for multiple overseas photovoltaic power station projects.
