Steam (Heat Resistance)
Metal bearings may risk lubricant leakage and environmental contamination in hot environments or steam. This is not the case with plastic bearings, as they are used without lubricants. They do not rust and are resistant to corrosion, enabling clean usage.
In food production, such as in noodle factories, products are manufactured in steamy and hot environments. In such settings, plastic bearings can fully leverage their advantages.
Furthermore, the heat resistance of plastics varies depending on the material, so the selection of plastic depends on the specific conditions and environments in which they will be used.
