Deep-groove Ball Bearings

Large Diameter Plastic Ball Bearings (φ200 and above)

This is an example of our large diameter bearing. The photo shows a 6838 bearing (φ240×φ190×24L). This bearing is intended for use in a project involving a generator that utilizes water flow. Given that it will be used underwater, the customer is considering plastic materials and was searching for a manufacturer of large diameter bearings. We provided this bearing in response to their request to try out a few samples for testing purposes. We manufacture bearings through machining, so we can provide bearings in uncommon specifications starting from single units. We have experience in manufacturing and delivering bearings with an outer diameter of φ270 in non-standard dimensions. Additionally, our bearings[…..]

Plastic Bearings with Inner Stud (Threaded Hole) Specification

This is a bearing with an internally threaded hole. There are various methods to mount bearings, including attaching flanges, fixing with collars at both ends, using retaining rings, pressing into the shaft or housing, etc. For our main products, plastic bearings, the common method is to press fit the outer diameter to secure the bearing. Among these different mounting methods, as shown in the photo, it is also possible to equip the bearing with an internal threaded hole and fix it with a screw. Depending on the bearing size, it is possible to manufacture thread sizes and pitches in the dimensions you specify. If you have any issues with mounting[…..]

Plastic Bearings in a Process for Surface Treatment of Thin Sheets

Our Self-aligning ball bearings were used in a process for surface treatment of copper sheets. Two rollers are suspended vertically, and the copper plate passes through the process by running between the rollers and being chrome-plated. Bearings were used at the top of these rollers. As the copper plate passes, the rollers tend to tilt and shift, hence a self-aligning function is required. Additionally, the rollers bear vertical loads, imposing additional requirements on the bearings. Therefore, we proposed our self-aligning ball bearings, which can accommodate this axial load. It is a special form not available in standard specifications, but we can manufacture it through CNC machining. Our company specializes in[…..]

Plastic Bearings for Extremely Cold Environments

Our bearings were used for the ice cream production line. Due to the manufacturing of ice cream in extremely cold environments and the use of cleaning agents during the cleaning process, a transition to plastic was considered. Because of the extremely low temperatures, we recommended the use of PTFE from our side. PTFE is a material that can be used even in extremely low temperatures of up to -268°C. However, it should be noted that dimensional changes occur significantly at temperatures. Therefore, it is important to consider the change in dimensions when used in high or low temperatures. Furthermore, we also offer materials that have been enhanced with fillers to[…..]

Double-Row Plastic Bearings

These bearings are used in a thread feeding line. Initially, a plastic bearing of type 6002 was used, but it could not withstand the load and led to rotational errors. Without changing the size of φ32×φ15×9L, the specification was changed from a single row to a double row, and by adding more balls, a higher load could be accommodated. In addition, by switching to an angular contact structure internally, a certain amount of axial load was also made possible. Depending on the size, it is possible to manufacture bearings with such internal specification changes.

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[…..]

Plastic Guide Bearings for the Cleaning and Transportation of Retort Packages

Our plastic bearings have been used in the process of cleaning and drying retort packages. Originally, metal bearings with a plastic coating were used. The production line for retort packages here uses tap water for cleaning and goes through a drying oven process. Due to the use of water, metal bearings face the problem of grease being washed out and rust formation. Furthermore, tap water contains calcium carbonate, so when passing through the drying oven after cleaning while still wet, calcium carbonate adheres inside the bearing, leading to faulty rotation. Therefore, we proposed the use of UHMWPE, which is non-sticky, and designed the shape of the bearings to be easy[…..]

Plastic Bearings for Conveyor Rollers in the Food Cleaning Process (Alcohol Cleaning, etc.)

This is an example of using bearings in the alcohol cleaning of kamaboko, processed fish paste. In this process, stainless steel bearings were used, but the alcohol washed out the internal grease, leading to faulty rotation. By switching to PEEK bearings, the bearings can be used without grease, eliminating concerns about corrosion or deterioration from alcohol.

Plastic Bearings in the Cleaning Process of Ampoules

Our plastic bearings were utilized for the ampoule cleaning process. Initially, two miniature plastic bearings from other manufacturers were used to avoid the wear of metal powder. However, wear problems also arose with the plastic bearings, leading to difficulties. One of the reasons was the strength of the plastic material, but the fact that they were standard products also led to dimensional interference and accelerated wear. Therefore, we proposed using PEEK bearings with a multi-row configuration tailored to the device’s dimensions, which resolved the issue. In our case, the multi-row configuration that combines both bearings is more cost-effective than using two separate bearings. Related Pages ・Ball Bearings ・Custom-made Ball Bearings[…..]

Plastic Bearings for Glass Cleaning Lines

Our bearings were used on conveyor belts for glass products. The use of metal bearings when cleaning ground glass results in water contamination due to lubricating grease. Worse yet, glass particles reduce bearing lubrication, leading to increased wear on the bearings and higher production downtime. To eliminate the problem, we offered our plastic bearings. The bearing dimensions are designed according to the current machine equipment to avoid design changes to the machines. Future design changes, such as longer shafts, are also individually accommodated by us. In the specific example, a self-aligning ball bearing was used. This allowed us to ensure maximum flexibility of the shaft. Thus, changes in shaft length[…..]
