Acetal Plastic Radial Ball Bearings

STANDARD PERFORMANCE - CELCON® ACETAL ENGINEERING POLYMER (POM)

The material of choice is Celcon® Acetal POM. Celcon® POM (PolyOxy-Methylene) is a superior general-purpose engineering polymer that provides an excellent balance of desirable properties that bridge the gap between metals and ordinary plastics.

Celcon® acetal copolymer is an engineering thermoplastic material used in a wide variety of applications. Applications range from automotive, agriculture, food processing equipment, and pool and spa equipment.

Celcon® acetal copolymer is the market leader among acetals with superior processing and post machining characteristics, long-term service characteristics, and a 40-year history of outstanding performance in demanding applications.

These bearings feature inch and metric sizes, single and double row bearing construction, straight and flange profiles. They can be fitted with standard 316 stainless (-6) or borosilicate glass balls (-G). Torlon® polymer balls (-T) are available by special-order.

Benefits & Advantages of Acetal Plastic Radial Ball Bearings

Part designers and molders choose Celcon® acetal copolymer over other materials because it offers the following advantages:

• Chemical & corrosion resistance
• Inherent lubricity
• High fatigue strength & good creep resistance
• High strength and stiffness
• Superior long-term performance
