Flanged Delrin Bearings with a Hardened Metal Spanner

Flanged Delrin bearings with a hardened metal spanner are commonly used for the following reasons:

Low Friction and Wear Resistance: Delrin (a type of acetal resin) offers excellent low-friction properties, making it ideal for reducing wear and ensuring smooth operation.

Corrosion Resistance: Delrin is resistant to moisture and most chemicals, which makes it suitable for environments where metal bearings might corrode.

Support and Alignment: The flange provides additional support and helps maintain alignment, particularly in applications where axial loads are present.

Enhanced Durability: The hardened metal spanner distributes loads evenly across the bearing, reducing stress and extending the lifespan of both the bearing and surrounding components.

Lightweight and Quiet Operation: Delrin is lighter and operates more quietly than metal bearings, making it desirable in applications requiring minimal noise and reduced weight.

Typical applications include casters, conveyor systems, robotics, and precision machinery where smooth movement, durability, and low maintenance are priorities.
