Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive force during installation, leading to brinelling or deformation of the polycarbonate races.Use a bearing press or a properly sized drift to apply force evenly and squarely to the bearing's outer or inner ring, depending on the mounting method.
Contaminating the bearing during installation with dirt, dust, or lubricants not specified for polymer bearings.Handle the bearing in a clean environment and use only lubricants approved for polycarbonate bearings, if required.

Common Applications

  • Food and Beverage Processing Equipment
  • Medical Devices
  • Chemical Processing Machinery
  • Lightweight Automotive Components
  • Corrosive Environment Applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Do not exceed the maximum operating temperature for polycarbonate, as this can lead to material degradation and performance loss.
  • Avoid exposure to strong solvents or aggressive chemicals that are incompatible with polycarbonate, as this may cause swelling or chemical attack.
