Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this deep groove ball bearing features an inside diameter of 37mm, an outside diameter of 180mm, and a width of 17mm. Constructed from high-grade polycarbonate, it exhibits superior chemical resistance, is non-magnetic, and provides electrical insulation, making it ideal for environments where traditional steel bearings may fail due to corrosion or electromagnetic interference. Its lightweight nature also contributes to reduced system inertia. Operating within a moderate temperature range, this bearing is suitable for light-duty power transmission, conveyor systems, and specialized industrial machinery where material compatibility is critical.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive force during installation, leading to housing distortion or bearing damage.Utilize a bearing press or appropriate driver to apply even pressure during installation, ensuring the force is distributed across the bearing's outer ring.
Incorrect shaft or housing tolerances, causing a loose or overly tight fit.Verify that shaft and housing dimensions conform to the bearing's recommended fit, typically an interference fit for the shaft and a clearance fit for the housing.

Common Applications

  • Lightweight Conveyor Systems
  • Corrosive Chemical Processing Equipment
  • Medical and Food Processing Machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-speed or heavy-load applications due to polycarbonate's material limitations.
  • Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures beyond the polycarbonate's specified operating range.
