Slide bearings
These bearings are a cost-effective solution for applications requiring low friction and high corrosion resistance. In sanitary, slide bearings are used in sliding shower doors and other sanitary fittings, for example. They must be resistant to water and often also to cleaning liquids or alkalis.
Plastic-sheathed ball bearings
These ball bearings offer excellent corrosion resistance and are particularly suitable for applications where contact with high moistness, aggressive substances, or salt water is unavoidable. Their ability to function in chlorinated and other aggressive environments is significantly influenced by the use of materials such as brass or various stainless steels.
Frequently Asked Questions about our bearings for wet environments
Are the bearings suitable for contact with saltwater or chemicals?
Yes, the bearings are generally suitable for contact with saltwater and chemicals. However, their suitability depends on the duration of exposure. We have extensive experience and test results that provide detailed information on the resistance of the bearings in such environments.
What load capacities can these bearings handle?
Depending on the design, both ball bearings and slide bearings can be used in a wide variety of versions, covering different load capacities. The load-capacity strongly depends on the materials used and the customer-specific requirements for corrosion protection.
How do these bearings prevent corrosion in chlorine-containing environments?
Corrosion resistance is ensured solely through the choice of materials used. High-quality, corrosion-resistant materials, such as certain stainless steels, provide optimal protection in chlorine-containing environments.
Can bearings for wet environments be used in hygienically sensitive areas, such as the food and pharmaceutical industries?
Yes, these bearings can be used in hygienically sensitive areas such as the food and pharmaceutical industries. However, the choice of materials is crucial to meet the strict hygiene requirements.
How does continuous exposure to water affect the lifespan of the bearings?
Continuous exposure to water can negatively affect the lifespan of the bearings. It is recommended to protect the bearings from prolonged contact with water as much as possible to ensure their longevity.
