Rod - Drill Blanks.
Marine, food and medical grade Stainless Steel - Non Hardenable. Polyethylene plastic seals.
Tolerances differ from standard bearing types. Due to the tolerance range it is recommended that each actual bearing is measured to calculate fits. Polymer cages, grade 200 type 316 stainless balls, AISI 316 stainless races, greased. Rings machined from solid rod stock producing true running concentric bearings. Low load, low speed applications requiring maximum corrosion resistance. Usual supply is unlubricated so that they can be used immediately in applications exposed to water, or lubricated by the user with their preferred grease. Special orders can be run with a selected lubricant. Note that some bearings may already be listed with grease.
