Informations
EXTREME BEARING Washdown Bearing Housings are the cost-optimal high-tech end-of-line solution for all environments such as (e.g. in the food processing industry) in which aggressive influences (salt, moisture, dirt, chemicals) affect the bearing units used and significantly shorten the service life of the bearing units.
Problematic use of plastic housings
Plastic housings can only withstand aggressive environments to a degree until failure occurs due to swelling, brittleness or fatigue due to the application of high mechanical forces, with all the negative consequences for production and the associated costs.
Problematic use of gray cast iron housings
Gray cast iron housings can withstand higher forces, but rust in aggressive environments and cannot be used in food technology due to hygiene regulations.
Problematic use of bearings made of stainless steel (e.g. bearing SUC 210)
High price, limitation when absorbing forces (softer, stainless steel; high wear) and the only protection from the environment is only provided by a sealing washer on the bearing itself. The only advantage: food-safe in combination with food-safe fat.
Extreme Bearing
With a high-end sealing solution, assemblies from EXTREME BEARING enable the user to use the housing made of stainless steel F316 (1.4404) in combination with the appropriate choice of grease, ball bearings made of roller bearing steel (e.g. 100Cr6) in aggressive environments and thus save the Use of expensive storage solutions made of softer, stainless steel, weak plastic housings or rusting gray cast iron housings.
EXTREME BEARING construction options
Independence from bearing manufacturers
Benefits
Practical example:
Bearing survival time for assemblies of a customer in the mussel processing industry in the Netherlands could be optimized from 3-4 months to 6 years with assemblies from EXTREME BEARING.
