Heat-resistant Stainless Bearings
Heat-resistant bearing, made of AISI 440C stainless steel with heat-resistant fluorine grease.
Features
- Operating temperature is up to 482°F, except sealed type.
- AISI 440C stainless steel has lower hardness decrease ratio and smaller dimension changes than SAE 52100 bearing steel in high temperature environment.
- AISI 440C stainless steel is superior to SAE 52100 bearing steel in oxidation resistance in high temperature environment.
- Filling heat-resistant fluorine grease enables lubrication in high temperature environment.

Precautions
Under high temperature environment, radial internal clearance decreases due to difference of materials used for shaft, i.e. linear expansion coefficient, which may interfere with the rotation of the bearing. Please consider the thermal expansion sufficiently and select fitting and material of the shaft. Please contact us for further information.
