What We Offer
Ordering
To order standard blue tempered spring steel conveyours you can:
Ground Categories
Unground ball bearings can be:
- Wholly unground
- Ground in part
- Wholly ground
They have precision levels less than ABEC 1.
Loads
They are available in the traditional ball bearing forms for load types:
- Radial
- Thrust
- Combined radial-thrust
Materials
- Low-carbon steels are employed widely
- Carburized and hardened to obtain enough wear resistance for good service under normal conditions
- Certain applications require the corrosion resistance of stainless-steel or plated surfaces
- Low noise applications a variety of elastomeric compounds are molded or bonded to the outside diameters.
Ratings
- Failure in unground bearings is usually caused by wear, as compared with metal fatigue in precision bearings.
- Unground bearings do not exhibit the uniform statistical life tests results common to precision bearings.
- In the less-than-ABEC-1 category, ground bearings use the standard rating method used for conventional rolling-element bearings.
Unground bearing capacities are generally based on experience, life values are not stated, and depend on specific use cases.
