Delrin Bearings: The Ultimate Solution for Demanding Applications

Delrin bearings are engineered to withstand demanding environments and provide exceptional performance for a wide range of industrial applications. These bearings are precision-molded from DuPont Delrin, a high-performance thermoplastic known for its outstanding wear resistance, low friction, and dimensional stability.

Benefits of Delrin Bearings

1. Superior Wear Resistance

Delrin bearings exhibit exceptional wear resistance due to their high molecular weight and tightly packed crystalline structure. They outperform traditional metal bearings in abrasive environments and can last up to 10 times longer.

Traditional Metal Bearing	Delrin Bearing
Wear rate: 0.025 mm/hr	Wear rate: 0.0025 mm/hr

2. Low Friction

Delrin bearings have a low coefficient of friction, reducing energy consumption and operating temperatures. This results in smoother operation, extended bearing life, and reduced maintenance requirements.

Coefficient of friction: 0.8	Coefficient of friction: 0.2

3. Corrosion Resistance

Delrin bearings are highly resistant to corrosion from chemicals, moisture, and UV radiation. This makes them ideal for applications where metal bearings would quickly deteriorate.

Salt spray	Delrin: < 1%
Acidic solution	Delrin: Negligible

How to Choose the Right Delrin Bearing

Selecting the appropriate Delrin bearing involves considering the following factors:

Load Capacity: Determine the maximum load and operating pressure your application will impose on the bearing.

Speed: Consider the operating speed and whether it will exceed the maximum speed rating of the bearing.

Environment: Identify the temperature range, presence of chemicals, and level of moisture your application will expose the bearing to.

6 Effective Strategies to Enhance Delrin Bearing Performance:

Lubricate the bearing with a suitable lubricant to reduce friction and wear.

Use a proper fit between the bearing and shaft to prevent excessive clearance or tightness.

Optimize the bearing load distribution to minimize stress concentrations.

Incorporate a seal to prevent ingress of contaminants.

Monitor bearing temperature to detect potential issues early.

Replace the bearing at the first sign of wear or damage.
