Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this polycarbonate deep groove ball bearing features an inside diameter of 98mm, an outside diameter of 176mm, and a width of 42mm. The advanced polycarbonate material provides excellent resistance to a broad range of chemicals and corrosive agents, significantly outperforming traditional steel in such applications. Its low coefficient of friction ensures smooth, efficient rotational performance with minimal energy loss, while its non-conductive properties make it suitable for electrical applications where conductivity is undesirable. This design is optimized for light to moderate load conditions and moderate rotational speeds, offering a durable and reliable bearing solution.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive force during press-fitting, leading to brinelling or deformation.Use a bearing press or a carefully sized drift for even pressure application. Avoid hammering directly on the bearing rings.
Incorrect shaft or housing fit, resulting in premature wear or bearing failure.Verify that the shaft and housing have the recommended clearance or interference fits for polycarbonate bearings to prevent excessive stress.

Common Applications

  • Food processing equipment
  • Chemical handling systems
  • Medical device assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-temperature applications exceeding the material's thermal limits.
  • Avoid exposure to abrasive particles or high-impact loads which can damage the polycarbonate raceways.
