Non-Magnetic and Insulating Bearings That Do Not React to Metal Detectors

Our plastic bearings can be used near metal detectors. To ensure that there are no metal contaminants present, we do not use metallic bearings in such locations, as they can react to metal detectors and lead to inaccurate results. Metal is detected through methods such as electrical conductivity or magnetic reaction, but plastic is generally an insulator and non-magnetic, making it useful in such specialized environments. However, some plastics can accumulate static electricity due to their insulation. Since this electrostatic charge can sometimes interfere with equipment, we recommend using bearings made of antistatic plastic in such cases. Depending on requirements, we offer solutions with various materials. Please contact us if[…..]

Cam Follower Bearing Made Entirely of Plastic

This product was developed in response to the request, “Can cam followers be made of plastic?” The desire was to use plastic because metal parts could potentially cause malfunctions in a testing device. Integrating the bearing and screw reduces the number of parts and simplifies replacement. Additionally, due to the plastic material, there is no risk of damaging the workpiece. The illustrated screw sizes are M4 and M10, but manufacturing is possible regardless of the standard. Within the testing device, it is used as a guide rail for positioning as well as a transport roller over which the workpiece rolls to the next processing stage.

Full Ball Type Plastic Ball Bearings Without Cages

Full-ball plastic ball bearings without a cage do not have a cage. Therefore, these bearings are used in dirty water, as contaminants do not remain in the cage. For example, they are used in a coating tank. Full Ball Type Plastic Ball bearings without Cages Usually, deep groove ball bearings have cages to retain the balls. However, in cases where they are used in chemical environments or in water with impurities, deep groove ball bearings sometimes fail because the impurities remain in the cage. Also, metal bearings cannot be used in coating tanks. But our bearings can be used in coating tanks because they do not get coated. They are[…..]

Antistatic Plastic Bearing

In environments where electrostatic discharge can have significant effects, plastics with antistatic properties are selected and used. An example application is the transportation of glass plates in conveyor lines.
