Materials and coatings increase operating life of bearings in harsh food and beverage applications

Dr Steve Lacey, Engineering Manager at Schaeffler UK, discusses the importance of selecting a special surface coating or corrosion-resistant material for rolling, plain and linear bearings operating in harsh food, beverage or packaging environments.

In the food, beverage and packaging industries, production is typically based on highly automated, fast moving processes and systems, where every second of production counts. In these operating environments, unscheduled production downtime is a crime and so processes, systems and individual machine components such as bearings must be energy efficient, cost effective and capable of withstanding harsh, often highly corrosive conditions.

When selecting bearings for these applications, Schaeffler offers a wide range of robust, reliable bearings, which can all be corrosion protected, sealed and lubricated for life for continuous operation. Schaeffler is constantly developing new materials and surface coatings for bearings, which provide these high levels of protection and longer operating lives.
