We use our unique moulding techniques, careful material selection, decades of product knowledge and design expertise to manufacture bearings that outperform other plastic bearings on the market today. We are confident that we always offer our customers high quality, world-class plastic bearings to match the needs of their application.
This helpful guide can be used to find out the average life of a BNL bearing if you know the required speed of operation and load for your application.
The life of a bearing is affected by its environment, the load it must carry, the speed it operates at, plus how much these vary across its service life. A plastic bearing can carry heavy loads, reach high speeds and is suitable for many specialist and severe environments. Where a bearing application is exposed to extremes of all three factors, potential life can be affected. In this instance, our expert team can advise on choosing an appropriate bearing to meet your requirements.
Made of thermoplastic materials, BNL bearings are all lightweight, have low inertia, are water-resistant, nonmagnetic and need no lubrication. We use a range of materials to meet a variety of application requirements, from room temperature operation and immersion in water, to high operating temperatures and significant chemical exposure.
The performance of our bearings is not diminished by frequent wash-downs or exposure to chemicals, giving them excellent wear rates, even in harsh environments.
Injection moulding techniques make it possible for the bearing function to be combined with other features such as clips, shafts and tyres, significantly broadening design possibilities.
Our specialist plastic moulding techniques produce a more durable bearing surface, significantly improving wear resistance and increasing the life of our products.
