Suited for applications that require non-magnetic, non-metallic solution, these plastic bearings feature glass balls, polyester plastic races, and urethane tire mounted to outer race, which minimizes noise and absorbs vibration. Able to run without lubrication, these units can tolerate harsh environments and underwater applications. Some uses include medical MRI, medical X-ray, security X-ray, and CAT scan equipment.
NBK Bearings Inc., a leader in the development and manufacturing of plastic and AISI 316 stainless raceway radial ball bearings, is pleased to announce the availability of a plastic race type bearing fitted with glass balls and a urethane tire.
The bearing design features polyester plastic races with a urethane tire mounted to the outer race. It is fitted with glass balls, which creates a total non-magnetic, non-metallic solution with complete MRI compatibility. Additionally, the urethane tire reduces noise, absorbs vibrations and is non-marking when used in MRI patient table rollers.
As a plastic race type bearing it features a low start up torque due to its lightweight nature and has the ability to run without lubrication. These bearings can be used in any application requiring non-magnetic, non-metallic compatibility, such as medical MRI, medical x-ray, security x-ray, and CAT scan equipment. The bearings also tolerate applications under water and in harsh environments.
"Previously MRI machines would use a plastic sleeve bushing type bearing to solve non-magnetic/metallic bearing issues," stated Bob Siets, Engineering/Sales Manager of NBK Bearings. "Our newly developed construction provides machine manufacturers with a non magnetic ball bearing that will enhance and improve the performance of the machine."
NBK non-magnetic bearings are available in custom configurations, giving engineers complete freedom to design the bearing around the device rather than attempting to design the device around a limited range of standard bearings. The NBK website provides all the tools necessary to help customers design or select the part they need.
