Bearing for Food Industry Applications From Treotham Automation
Material of the iglidur A200 bearings complies with international food and drug regulations which make them suitable for direct contact with food.Available in Australia from Treotham Automation, the A200 bearings have good abrasion resistance and are highly suitable for low speed, rotational, oscillating and linear movements.
The A200 bearings are ideal for implementation when a bearing comes in direct contact with food, for low speeds, when quiet operation is important, or when dirt needs to become embedded.The material of iglidur A200 is FDA (USA) approved for use in direct contact with food. The A200 bearings are an ideal solution for bearing applications on machines that manufacture consumables, medical devices, small household appliances, etc.
In order to achieve the benefit of food compatibility, mixing with solid lubricants must be avoided. The thermoplastic alloy of iglidur A200 is used for abrasion resistance. The high abrasion resistance, the resistance to dirt, and the ability to run dry make it possible to eliminate the customary, expensive protective seals of lubricated bearings.
At the maximum permissible static surface pressure of 18 MPa the deformation is less than 2%. Plastic deformation is minimal up to this radial load. However, it is also a result of the service time.
iglidur A200 bearing was developed for low surface speeds. With regard to running dry in continuous use, a maximum of 0.8 m/s (rotating) or 2 m/s (linear) is possible.
These given values indicate the limits at which an increase up to the continuous permissible temperature occurs. This increase is a result of friction. In practice, these limit values are not often reached, due to varying application conditions.
Temperatures
The maximum permissible short term temperature is 170
