Plastic Bearings

Plastic Bearings


The inner ring and outer ring of plastic bearings are made of POM, PTFE, PVDF or PEEK through a precision machining technology. The rolling body and the retainer can be made of Si3N4, ZrO2, glass, stainless steel or other materials. Plastic bearings can be applied in the environment which require a precision, corrosion-resistance and oil-free lubrication.
