Ball Bearings are utilized in many types of equipment to provide rotating motions and smooth, frictionless operations. For effective operation, they are widely utilized in automobiles, turbines, engines, motors, and medical equipment. Three crucial tasks are performed by Ball Bearings in the UK: they support the weight of the machine, lessen friction between its moving components, and maintain its moving parts' position. Our website features a wide range of suppliers, exporters and manufacturers that deal with Insert Ball Bearings.
To fill the void left by conventional steel bearings in some situations, plastic Ball Bearings were developed. If these materials come into contact with water, they will both rust. This renders them an unsuitable option for numerous uses, such as food processing, swimming pools, and medicinal applications. Plastics can easily machined or molded to fit an application more precisely. By including mounting components that may be molded into the raceways, the KMS engineering team has created integrated bearing designs with the application. Moreover, the housing or the shaft may be intended to be the outer or inner raceways, respectively.
1. Lightweight: Plastic requires less weight and energy to move than steel because it is five times lighter.
2. Corrosion Resistant: KMS plastic Ball Bearings are suitable for use in conditions that would be detrimental to traditional bearings. Plastic doesn't corrode by nature. Our bearings can function in abrasive conditions including seawater, plating solutions, silicon wafer manufacturing, and swimming pools.
3. Customizable Design: Plastics can be used to easily and affordably create custom designs. Instead of trying to design the device around a narrow range of common bearings, this gives engineers total freedom to design the bearing around the device.

5. Lubrication Free: To minimize friction, release heat, and stop corrosion, steel bearings need to be lubricated. Plastic Ball Bearings are made in a way that prevents metal-to-metal contact, which reduces friction. The fluids that the bearings frequently operate in have the dual properties of lubricating and heat-dissipating.
6. Noise Control: Plastic naturally attenuates vibrations. When lubricant is added, they almost stop talking.
7. Product Integration: Plastic wheels, pulleys, housings, and other parts can all be fitted with a plastic bearing. It is possible to accomplish seamless integration in some design concepts where the inner ring is replaced by a fastening clip or the shaft, and the bearing's pulley profile serves as the outer ring. Because fewer parts are used as a result of this integration, assembly times are shortened and costs are raised.
8. Cleanliness/Hygienic: Because plastic bearings don't require lubrication, they are resistant to corrosion, and they can be cleaned without having to worry about relubricating, they often function cleaner than metal bearings. They are a good choice for wash-down applications and cleanroom conditions because of their capacity.
9. Shock Absorption: Because plastic is elastic, it absorbs shock loads more effectively than metal. Due to brinelling of the raceway, or balls denting the raceways, a lot of traditional Ball Bearings fail.
10. Non-Magnetic: When nonmagnetic 316 stainless steel, polymer, or glass balls are inserted into plastic Ball Bearings, the bearings fully cease to be magnetic. They are perfect to use with MRI and X-ray machinery.
A ball bearing is a type of rolling element bearing that reduces friction, supports weights, and positions moving parts of a machine to make motion easier. Ball Bearings use balls to separate two "races," or bearing rings, in order to reduce surface contact and friction across moving planes.
The majority of Ball Bearings are composed of chrome steel, also referred to as high-carbon chromium steel. This is employed due to its affordability and longevity. Other materials, like plastic, ceramic, and stainless steel, are also used to make bearings.
