Source: LM76steel/ceramic bearings, FDA-approved lubricant and polycrystalline non-metallic tires. Mounted on stainless steel studs, the Ceramicspeed hybrid radial bearings feature a stainless steel race and low friction ceramic balls that can handle high loads, are capable of high speed operation and have an exceptionally long service life. The tire is formed from a super wear resistant polycrystalline compound that has no soft spots and will not deform under pressure.
The bearings are engineered for applications in food and drink processing, dairy, poultry and meat processing, medical, pharmaceutical and bio-pharma industries. The smallest of the series of cam follower bearings is the X1-6 with a 0.625 in outer diameter and capable of handling a 60 lb load. The largest is the X1-20 with an outer diameter of 2.000 in and capable of handling a 560 lb load.
