Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this polycarbonate deep groove ball bearing features an inside diameter of 57mm, an outside diameter of 156mm, and a width of 14mm. The inherent properties of polycarbonate provide excellent chemical resistance, electrical insulation, and reduced weight compared to steel alternatives. This makes it an optimal choice for applications involving corrosive media, environments requiring electrical isolation, or where weight reduction is a critical design factor, such as in certain food processing machinery or specialized conveyor systems.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive force during press-fitting, leading to polycarbonate deformation.Utilize a hydraulic press or appropriate bearing installation tool, applying force only to the inner or outer ring as specified for the application to prevent damage.
Exposing the polycarbonate bearing to temperatures exceeding its operational limit.Verify the operational temperature range of the polycarbonate material and the application environment to ensure compatibility and prevent material degradation.

Common Applications

  • Lightweight Power Transmission
  • Corrosive Chemical Environments
  • Electrically Insulating Applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-load or high-speed applications typically handled by steel bearings.
  • Avoid exposure to solvents or chemicals known to degrade polycarbonate.
