Universal bearing works in elevated
temperatures

A universal bearing, capable of working at elevated temperatures and in vacuum applications, is able to operate continuously in temperatures up to 200degC.

Hepco's development of a universal bearing, capable of working at elevated temperatures and in vacuum applications, presents designers with two important benefits Firstly, the bearing is able to operate continuously in temperatures up to 200degC

By comparison, the use of plastic cage retainers renders competitor products unsuitable for such treatment.

Secondly, the new Hepco bearing is compatible with other elements from Hepco's SL2 Stainless Steel Series and therefore able to be specified as part of a high quality, off-the-shelf and maintenance-free linear motion system.

The bearing construction itself uses several standard parts from the SL2 Series, enabling it to be assembled quickly to meet either high temperature or vacuum needs.

Inner and outer raceways are made from 440C stainless.

Shields and cages are TDC coated.

The bearing is made suitable for operation in high temperature or in a vacuum with the use of special greases. Request a free brochure from HepcoMotion ...
