What’s a precision ball bearing?
Precision ball bearings have very little play and meet the most stringent requirements in terms of running characteristics, load-bearing capacity and durability. The environment has little influence on the ball bearings. This makes them particularly suitable for industrial castors that have to meet technically demanding conditions. They are also often used on heavy-duty castors.
Wheel bearings with heat-resistant precision ball bearings can be used in extremely cold and hot temperatures. Under these thermal conditions, however, the load-bearing capacity is somewhat reduced.
Radial groove ball bearings are very low-maintenance. Even during continuous operation, wear is low and there is no need to replace the bearing. In situations where strict hygiene regulations apply – such as in the medical or food industry – the wheels should be equipped with a sealed ball bearing.
