Contact form Ball bearing marking with a laser
Permanent laser marking of ball bearings and roller bearings
Materials suitable for laser marking
Tremendous forces act on ball and roller bearings. Laser marking is ideal for the creation of identification labels as they are extremely resistant to heat and mechanical stress. Even under the toughest conditions, laser markings on stainless steel, hardened and coated metals, plastics and ceramics remain permanently legible. They are used in production codes, lettering, logos or dimensions.
Materials suitable for laser marking
- Stainless steel
- Hardened metals
- Coated metals
- Ceramic

Application examples for ball bearings
Typical areas of application for laser marking ball bearings are functional labels (logos and company names for anti-counterfeiting measures) as well as product information (type, size, date of manufacture, etc.).
- Production codes
- Lettering
- Logos
- Product information
- Company name
- Trademark protection, anti-counterfeiting measures
Why should I buy a laser for ball bearing marking?
Laser marking ball and roller bearings in stainless steel, hardened metals, ceramics or plastics with a Trotec laser device not only allows flexibility in the choice of materials, but also the shapes, sizes and processed contents of the bearings. By using the included and intuitive SpeedMark marking software, you can process variable data and content from external systems. You can choose between standard machines or automated/integrated system solutions.
Function and advantages of laser technology
Flexible, variable data can be marked
- A wide range of markings can be created from dynamic content without retooling or tool changes
Advantages of a Trotec laser
- Intelligent and intuitive SpeedMark marking software that can simply process data from existing ERP systems and all dynamic contents in codes
Automated custom-built laser machines
- Fully automated custom-built machines are also possible
Advantages of a Trotec laser
- Decades of experience in the development, design and implementation of custom-built machines
- Standardized workstations as core elements for custom-built solutions
- Several solutions for manufacturers of ball bearings have already been produced, e.g. including a separation system, conveyor, automatic marking process and removal area
Integration into production lines
- Hardware- and software-sided integration into existing production lines is possible
Advantages of a Trotec laser
