Using high corrosion resistant, high hardness Silicolloy, which enables better operation under higher loads and rotational speeds when compared to AISI 304 and AISI 630 stainless steels.
Features
1. Enables operation at high-rotational speed and under high loads in corrosive environments.
2. Provides corrosion resistance equivalent to AISI 630 stainless steel.
3. Offers higher hardness than the AISI 304 or AISI 630 stainless steel.
4. Pre-packed with food-grade grease as a standard specification.
5. Hybrid type using silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramic balls.
