Stainless Steel Roller Bearing

If corrosion and rust are the two biggest concerns you have when buying a roller bearing, then stainless steel is the way to go. This material is corrosion-resistant and has a familiar lustre. The stainless steel alloy that is milled into bearings is resistant to fresh water, crude oil, gasoline, alcohol, perspiration, blood, and food stuffs. As a result, these bearings are widely used in food processing plants and medical devices.

AISI-440C stainless steel is an excellent choice for non-load bearing parts. AISI-440C is particularly resistant to corrosion and breaking, and is widely used in fasteners and other similar applications. The 302 grade has slightly higher carbon content and is suitable for a component within a bearing. It also resists rolling-contact fatigue. Stainless steel roller bearings are also available in a variety of sizes and designs.

KMS Bearings manufactures radial ball bearings in type 316 stainless, which offers superior corrosion resistance. This material is also suitable for operating in environments that are damaging to conventional bearings. Type 316 stainless bearings can be run in liquids or dry at slow speeds. The grade 100 stainless ball used in KMS bearings has low friction, making them suitable for moderate loads. KMS bearings are unground semi-precision, which reduces friction.

The AISI 440C series is a high-chromium stainless steel with exceptional strength and corrosion resistance. Its 304 stainless cages and grooved raceways provide moderate axial and radial loads. These bearings are available in shielded, open, and sealed versions. In addition, BL is a trusted supplier of stainless steel bearings. Its largest stock of bearings is located in the U.S.

AISI-440C stainless steel is the most commonly used type. The AISI-304 stainless steel shield and retainer are standard, but there are also some sizes available with reinforced polyamide retainers. In addition, all sizes are available with food grade or water-resistant lubricants. These bearings are corrosion resistant in a range of environments, which makes them a great choice for a variety of applications.
