Unlock Peak Performance in Harsh Environments with HICERA PEEK Deep Groove Ball Bearings

In the demanding world of industrial machinery and specialized applications, component failure is not an option. Corrosion, chemical exposure, and contamination can swiftly degrade traditional bearings, leading to costly downtime and maintenance. The solution? Advanced engineering polymers. Today, we focus on a standout component: the HICERA 6200 series PEEK Deep Groove Ball Bearing with Corrosion-Resistant Ceramic Balls. This single-row, open bearing represents a significant leap forward for applications where metal bearings simply cannot survive.

Why PEEK? The Material Advantage

Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic renowned for its exceptional properties. When used as a bearing material, PEEK offers a compelling alternative to steel:

• Superior Chemical Resistance: Impervious to a wide range of aggressive chemicals, solvents, and fuels that would corrode or pit standard bearings.
• Inherent Lubricity & Low Moisture Absorption: PEEK provides a low coefficient of friction and maintains dimensional stability in wet or humid environments.
• High-Temperature Stability: It retains its mechanical properties at continuous service temperatures much higher than most plastics.
• Lightweight & Non-Magnetic: Ideal for applications where weight savings and magnetic transparency are critical.

Enhanced Durability with Ceramic Balls

The HICERA 6200 bearing doesn't stop at a PEEK outer ring and inner ring. It incorporates corrosion-resistant ceramic balls, typically made from silicon nitride (Si3N4). This combination is powerful:

• Complete Corrosion Immunity: Both the rings and the rolling elements resist corrosive agents, making the entire bearing assembly suitable for highly aggressive environments.
• Reduced Weight & Higher Hardness: Ceramic balls are lighter and harder than steel, reducing centrifugal load and offering excellent wear resistance.
• Electrical Insulation: The all-ceramic-and-polymer construction prevents electrical arcing, protecting equipment in electrically sensitive settings.

Ideal Applications for HICERA PEEK Bearings

Where should you consider this bearing? Its unique properties make it perfect for challenging sectors:

• Chemical Processing: Pumps, mixers, and valves handling acids, alkalis, and other corrosives.
• Food & Beverage / Pharmaceutical: Where hygiene, steam cleaning (CIP/SIP), and resistance to cleaning agents are mandatory.
• Semiconductor Manufacturing: In wafer handling and vacuum environments where cleanliness and non-magnetism are paramount.
• Marine & Offshore: Equipment exposed to saltwater spray and constant moisture.
• Electrical & Laboratory Equipment: Where insulation and non-contamination are key concerns.

HICERA 6200: Specifications and Availability

The model 6200 follows standard deep groove ball bearing dimensions for easy replacement of failed metal units. The open (no seal) design allows for easy cleaning and is suitable for environments where seals might trap media or are not required. A key benefit is its ready availability as a stock item from HICERA, minimizing lead times and ensuring you can get this high-performance solution quickly to keep your operations running smoothly.
