Some time ago, a customer described his technical problem in detail after a number of solution approaches had not led to the desired success.

Specifically, the problem concerned a bearing arrangement for an application with chemically contaminated, hot waste water.

The customer was looking for a deep groove ball bearing that could withstand these requirements for as long as possible, at least until the planned machine stop.

-Conventional solutions made of stainless steel were clearly at a disadvantage

-Even solutions with high-temperature-resistant seals did not work at all

ihb Services then took care of the matter and manufactured bearings for the customer according to customer specifications with a special grease filling (max. temp. +250°C) and corresponding high-temperature resistant seals, with the result that the customer was now able to use them until the next planned machine stop without any problems. Individual bearings were then inspected (see photo), with the result that the bearings, the seals and the lubricant had clearly met the requirements.

The next step is now to extend the service life of these bearings until the next but one planned machine stop.

We are looking forward to the result!

PS: Such solutions are also possible with FDA-approved lubricants and seals, for example!
