Detailed Engineering Specifications

Purpose-built for heavy-duty applications, this deep groove ball bearing boasts an Inside Diameter of 56mm, an Outside Diameter of 181mm, and a Width of 36mm. Constructed from high-performance polycarbonate, it offers significant advantages over traditional steel bearings, including excellent chemical inertness, resistance to a wide range of solvents and acids, and a lower coefficient of friction. Its non-magnetic properties and lightweight design make it ideal for applications where EMI/RFI shielding is critical or weight reduction is a primary objective. The material's inherent electrical insulation properties also prevent galvanic corrosion.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive force during installation, leading to deformation or damage of the polycarbonate race.Utilize a bearing press or an appropriate sleeve to apply uniform pressure, ensuring the bearing seats squarely.
Using inappropriate lubricants that can degrade polycarbonate over time.Consult the bearing manufacturer's recommendations or use lubricants specifically formulated for compatibility with polycarbonate materials.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Food and beverage machinery
  • Medical devices
  • Semiconductor manufacturing
  • Water treatment systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Polycarbonate bearings may have lower load ratings and rotational speeds compared to steel bearings. Verify suitability for specific application demands.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures exceeding the material's thermal limits, as this can compromise structural integrity and performance.
