Background
A leading Serbian optical research institute specializing in photonics, applied optics, and precision instrumentation selected Newbee Transmission's ZKLDF series bearings for their high-precision theodolite systems after rigorous testing. The bearings met critical ±3 arc-second angular accuracy requirements for both azimuth and elevation axes.
