Detailed Engineering Specifications

Specified by design engineers worldwide, this polycarbonate deep groove ball bearing features an inside diameter of 42mm, an outside diameter of 97mm, and a width of 16mm. The inherent properties of polycarbonate provide excellent chemical resistance and electrical insulation, making it suitable for applications where metal bearings may corrode or conduct electricity. Its light weight also contributes to reduced system inertia. This bearing is optimized for moderate radial loads and light axial loads in applications demanding material inertness and non-magnetic characteristics.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive force during installation, potentially deforming the polycarbonate raceway.Utilize a press or appropriate bearing installer tool with controlled force. Ensure the shaft and housing are correctly sized for a snug, not forced, fit.
Exposing the bearing to temperatures outside its operational range, leading to material degradation.Verify operating temperature limits for polycarbonate before deployment. Consider alternative materials for high-temperature applications.

Common Applications

  • Medical equipment components
  • Food processing machinery
  • Lightweight conveyor systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for heavy load applications or high-speed operation.
  • Avoid exposure to aggressive solvents or extreme temperatures that may degrade polycarbonate.
