New for the Hannover Messe 2022 – Schaeffler presents its expanded program for the food and beverage industry, including radial insert ball bearing and housing units for use in sensitive application areas such as food processing. The units are ready-to-fit and comprise white plastic housings in which corrosion-resistant radial insert ball bearings are fitted. Open and closed end caps, and a back seal for flanged designs, complete the range. The selected materials ensure high media resistance to weak acids, cleaning agents, and seawater, and can be used in a wide range of applications. The allergen-free lubricating grease used in the bearings is approved to NSF category H1, fulfills the requirements of FDA21 CFR 178.3570, and is certified to halal and kosher standards. The plastic housings are available in three different designs. The inner ring is located on the shaft by means of a grub screw or eccentric locking collar.
