Applications
All bearings need to demonstrate low friction, guidance with minimum runout or play, quiet running, low lubricant requirements, little wear and a long service life.
In addition to this, different industry sectors, operating environments and applications have their own specific requirements. They include:
- Very high or low temperatures and/or differences in temperature
- Moisture
- Speeds/revolutions per minute
- Resistance to dirt
- Aggressive media such as acid and alkaline solutions
- Powdery media such as liquid gas and process dust
- Suitability for food contact
