Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overheating the nylon during press-fitting.Use controlled, even pressure during installation; avoid excessive heat or impact.
Exposing the nylon bearing to excessive axial loads or impacts.Adhere strictly to the specified load ratings; avoid shock loads and improper alignment.

Common Applications

  • Conveyor systems in food processing
  • Automated manufacturing equipment
  • Material handling with corrosive elements

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for heavy radial or axial loads.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding 120°C (248°F).
  • Chemical compatibility with specific media must be verified.
