-
Stainless steel resists corrosion in humid or medical environments.
-
Ideal for light-load, high-speed equipment with minimal contamination.
A clean, compact bearing built for reliable, rust-resistant performance where space and hygiene matter.
Project blueprint did not require a bearing. The shaft assembly (per blueprint) was using a bored hole through an aluminum plate as the shaft turned on the aluminum the shaft hole wore out of round causing the shaft assembly to bind wobble. The VBX bearings were just the ticket to fix the problem. In-expensive off the shelf fast delivery for quality parts made the project assembly functional.
Based on the photos, I assumed the bearings would be dry. Cleaning the grease out wasn't overly difficult, just time I didn't want to spend cleaning.
