QCB Bearing Units

Product Details

QCB® Stainless Bearing Units offer an alternative to QCB® Thermoplastic Bearing Units and are suitable for use in areas subject to frequent washdowns and/or corrosive environments at temperatures up to 120°C. QCB® Stainless Steel bearing units are made in high quality stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance. All pillow blocks and flange units have a solid base and smooth exterior surface restrict the growth of bacteria. Stainless Steel SUC inserts are lubricated with KLUBER PARALIQ GA343 grease. QCB® Stainless Steel inserts can operate in environments from -30 to + 120C QCB® THERMOPLASTIC HOUSINGS QCB® bearing housings are made of PBT high-grade glass-filled thermoplastic polyester and are completely interchangeable with conventional cast-iron housings, resulting in a maintenance free housing with excellent mechanical strength, stiffness and dimensional stability that will never rust or corrode. Developed for use where high standards of cleanliness are important or a significant amount of liquid is present such as in the food and beverage industries. The smooth housing surfaces are much more hygienic that equivalent cast-iron units whose rough surfaces can harbour objectionable dirt, mould and bacteria. NO PLATING OR COATING TO CHIP OR PEEL Coated or plated cast-iron housings can scratch, chip and peel. The very act of installation can damage the finish to be removed around the edges of the bolts. Because QBC® Thermoplastic housings are solid PBT, coatings are not required for protection. And even if they are scratched or chipped there is no vulnerable cast-iron to be exposed. QCB® THERMOPLASTIC HOUSINGS ARE DURABLE With a tensile strength of 17 300 psi, and the ability to be pressure washed with hot water, QCB® Thermoplastic housings will stand up to the toughest applications. ALL OTHER PARTS STAINLESS STEEL To maximise corrosion resistance, not only is the bearing completely stainless, but so are the bolt inserts and grease nipples (suffix –N). Inserts are filled with a high-quality (FDA Approved) food-grade grease (suffix -6) USED IN MANY INDUSTRIES Because of their corrosion resistant and non-magnetic properties, QCB® Thermoplastic Housings find application in a wide variety of industries including food processing; canning; bottling; pharmaceutical; chemical processing and other general industrial applications.  A COMPLETE RANGE QCB® Thermoplastic bearings are available in a wide range of styles and sizes, with inch, metric or even plastic inserts. Snap-On closed-end covers are supplied as standard with through shaft style and back seals available as an optional extra. ·         PPL 200 Series ·         FPL 200 Series ·         NFL 200 Series ·         UCPL 200 Series  ·         HPL 200 Series ·         TPL 200 Series ·         FBL 200 Series  Other products in the QCB® range include: • QCB® Bearings • QCB® Thermoplastic bearing units • QCB® Slewing rings • QCB® Slewing Drives
