Bearings with enhanced formulas for more applications

The Solid Oil bearings have added enhanced formulas to benefit more applications such as food processing equipment, cranes, machinery, and conveyors where manual greasing would raise safety issues.

The Solid Oil bearings have added enhanced formulas to benefit more applications and are filled with an oil-saturated polymer matrix, which creates a consistent lubricant supply able to withstand very cold temperatures (down to -65 F and -53 C), aggressive chemicals, contaminants, and high centrifugal forces. The polymer matrix contains two- to four-times more lubricating oil than standard grease-filled bearings and the bearings never have to be re-lubricated. As a result, maintenance lubrication challenges are eliminated, especially benefiting applications where the accessibility to manually lubricate bearings is unsafe, impractical, and/or impossible. They are designed for applications such as food processing equipment, cranes, machinery, and conveyors where manual greasing would raise safety issues.
