Detailed Engineering Specifications

A high-performance industrial component, this deep groove ball bearing features an inside diameter of 87mm, an outside diameter of 103mm, and a width of 16mm. Constructed from robust polycarbonate, it provides superior resistance to many chemicals and solvents, making it suitable for corrosive environments. Its non-conductive nature makes it an excellent choice for applications where electrical isolation is critical. While offering good durability for light to moderate loads, it is important to note that polycarbonate's load-carrying capacity is generally lower than that of steel bearings, and its operating temperature range is also more limited. Regular inspection for wear and lubrication is recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Applying excessive force during installationUse a bearing press or a calibrated hydraulic press to ensure even force distribution and prevent damage to the bearing races or polycarbonate structure.
Improper lubrication for the applicationConsult the bearing manufacturer's recommendations for appropriate lubricants compatible with polycarbonate and the operating environment. Over-lubrication or the wrong lubricant can degrade the material.
