Coated Bearings

Coated bearings are essential in many industries. They enhance performance, durability, and reliability. These bearings are covered with specialized materials that reduce friction, increase wear resistance, and improve load-bearing capabilities. All the coated bearings on this page are urethane coated bearings.

Advantages of Polyurethane Coated Bearings

Reduced Friction

The coating reduces friction, which can improve the efficiency of the machinery in which the bearings are used.

Noise Reduction

Polyurethane coated bearings make less noise when they operate. They are perfect for places where quiet performance is important.

Enhanced Dry Lubrication

The unique molding process of urethane coated bearings keeps the lubrication effective. This ensures they perform well for a long time. They often incorporate dry film lubricant coatings such as CT-1, which further reduces friction and wear.

Superior Bond Strength

The bond between the ML6 polyurethane and the bearing race is extremely strong, surpassing the strength of the polyurethane bearings itself. This ensures that the coating remains intact under heavy duty applications.

Non-Marking Properties

Urethane covered bearings do not leave marks. This makes them perfect for applications that need to protect delicate materials or surfaces.

Improved Traction

Polyurethane coated bearings provide better traction on contact surfaces. This enhances the performance and safety of the equipment they are used in.

Abrasion Resistance

The polyurethane coating provides excellent abrasion resistance, extending the life of the bearing. These bearings show less wear and last longer on contact surfaces. This ensures reliable performance and reduces maintenance needs over time.

Versatility in Customization

Polyurethane coated bearings come in different colors and hardness levels. They can be customized to fit specific needs, providing flexible and tailored solutions.

Applications of Polyurethane Coated Bearings

• Glass Handling Equipment: In glass handling equipment, polyurethane coated bearings ensure smooth and precise movement. They prevent damage to delicate glass surfaces and reduce operational noise.
• Turntable Assemblies: Polyurethane coated bearings offer stable and quiet rotation in turntables. They are ideal for both industrial and commercial use.
• Medical Tubing Guides: These bearings are used in medical tubing guides, where hygiene and precision are crucial. They offer non-marking and wear-resistant performance.
• Extrusion Guide Wheels: In extrusion processes, urethane coated bearings guide materials with high precision and reduced friction. This enhances both the efficiency and quality of the extrusion.
• Material Handling Conveyors: Polyurethane coated bearings help conveyors run better by giving them more traction and making less noise. This keeps operations smooth and efficient.
• Performance Engines: In high-performance engines, these bearings can withstand the extreme conditions of today’s demanding automotive applications.
• Heavy-Duty Machinery: These coated bearings are ideal for heavy-duty machinery that operates in harsh environments.
• Professional Engine Builders: Many professional engine builders prefer polyurethane coated bearings for their reliability and performance.

How to Choose the Right Coated Bearings

When choosing polyurethane coated bearings, consider these points:

• Application Needs: What load, speed, and conditions are required?
• Material Compatibility: Will the bearing material work with the polyurethane coating?
• Coating Type: Which coating type provides the performance you need?
