Food Industry Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

Made of FDA-listed materials or FDA compliant, these bearings are for use in food applications. They also withstand caustic and washdown environments.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

Light Duty Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Use where high loads and speeds are not required.
MDS-filled nylon bearings create less friction than standard nylon bearings, making them more wear resistant.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.

Food Industry Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Made of FDA listed materials for use in food applications, these bearings also withstand caustic and washdown environments.
Rulon 641 bearings are stronger than UHMW bearings and withstand a wider range of temperatures.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.
