Harsh Environment Bearings Lightweight, stainless steel, thin-section bearings are available in AISI 440C stainless steel races, brass or non-metallic separators, with your choice of either stainless steel or ceramic balls. Offered in either radial contact "C," angular contact "A," or four-point contact "X" configurations. These bearings minimize the surface degradation and particulate formation so common in harsh environment applications. Best of all, these bearings are available in popular sizes from stock for immediate delivery. Hybrid bearings are very well suited for applications where lubrication is marginal Kaydon Real-Slim® bearing performance is legendary in demanding applications. That’s because these high-precision, compact, lightweight bearings feature low torque, high temperature performance, outstanding cleanliness, and superior chemical compatibility. Kaydon’s Reali-Slim® thin-section bearing product line has been expanded to include several additional bearing series specifically engineered to bring the advantages of Reali-Slim® bearings to designs intended for service in the most severe or extreme environments. environments. We offer Reali-Slim® bearings with a variety of packaged features to meet specific operation requirements for:
Applications requiring low particle generation, high accuracy, high speeds, and/or which must operate in adverse or no-lube conditions, can benefit from hybrid corrosion resistant bearings. Tests have shown that significant reductions in particle generation can be obtained with hybrid designs which incorporate the use of ceramic rolling elements on hardened steel races. In addition, the physical properties of the ceramic rolling elements (precision, hardness, lightweight) provide additional benefits such as improved repeatability, low torque, high stiffness, and resistance to breakdown under marginal or no-lube conditions. Tremendous benefits in performance can be obtained by matching not just size but also material to the application. These alternative race and ball materials interact differently than traditional chrome steel bearings. Capacities, life calculations, stiffness, and mounting requirements should be obtained from Kaydon to help assure maximum performance is realized. Series P--Chemical Resistant Thin Section Bearings In applications where both corrosion resistance or chemical resistance are required, series P bearings may be required. These bearings feature AISI 17-4PH steel races and ceramic
balls. They're manufactured to provide a greater level of corrosion and chemical resistance than either Kaydon Series N or Series S bearings. Due to the hardening limitations of AISI 17-4PH steel, an adjustment factor of .17 must be
applied to the standard dynamic capacity ratings. Thus, the use of P Series bearings should be carefully reviewed prior to selection to determine if the life and capacity are adequate. Stainless Steel Thin Section Bearings Printable pdf Kaydon Bearings Home
