Use these bearings in applications with frequent starts and stops because they operate with very little friction.
PTFE bearings have good chemical resistance.
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.

The oil in these bearings is suitable for incidental contact with food. Startup friction produces a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. All are FDA Compliant or NSF Registered, so they're safe for use in food applications.
UHMW bearings resist chemicals better than 841 bronze bearings, and they retain oil better in wet environments. 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.

Made of FDA listed materials for use in food applications, these bearings also withstand caustic and washdown environments.
Acetal bearings are FDA compliant for direct contact with food. They’re commonly used on machines in food plants and manufacturing plants for packaging and healthcare equipment. These bearings are bright blue, so they’re easy to spot in your line in case of breakage.
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.
