Precision Radial Ball Bearing for Wafer Crystal Pullers

This high-precision radial ball bearing is designed for use in crystal growers and pullers during semiconductor wafer manufacturing, supporting rotating shafts under ultra-clean conditions. It falls under HTS 8482.10.5064 as a radial ball bearing not specified elsewhere. Its low-friction and contamination-resistant design ensures smooth operation in Czochralski method crystal growth equipment.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8482.99.05Higher: 59.9% vs 59%

If imported as part of a complete crystal puller assembly

Parts of specific semiconductor manufacturing machines may classify under 8482.99 for machinery dedicated to boule production.

9031.49Lower: 12.5% vs 59%

If equipped with integrated precision measuring instruments

Bearings with built-in sensors for rotation measurement shift to measuring/testing instruments in Chapter 90.

8482.91.00Lower: 41.9% vs 59%

If for high-precision angular contact types used in axial loads

Angular contact ball bearings separate from standard radial types under different subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Obtain material certificates confirming low-particle generation for cleanroom compatibility in semiconductor fabs

• Verify bearing precision class (e.g

• ABEC 7 or higher) matches equipment specs to avoid reclassification

• Include end-use statements proving semiconductor application to qualify for potential duty exemptions
