Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Forcing the bearing onto a shaft or into a housing with excessive force, potentially damaging the polycarbonate raceways.Use a proper bearing installation tool or a controlled press. Apply force evenly and ensure correct alignment to avoid stress concentration on the bearing.
Installing in applications with excessive axial loads or shock loading, which can exceed the bearing's design limits.Confirm the application's load requirements match the bearing's specifications. Consider alternative bearing types if loads are beyond the polycarbonate bearing's capabilities.

Common Applications

  • Corrosive chemical processing equipment
  • Food and beverage machinery
  • Light-duty conveyor systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Not suitable for high-temperature applications exceeding polycarbonate's thermal limits.
  • Avoid applications with heavy impact or shock loads, as this can compromise bearing integrity.
