Stainless Steel Bearings (FBS-SS)

Stainless Steel Bearings for Food & General Hygienic Applications

Stainless Steel Bearings manufactured from corrosion-resistant
AISI 420 or AISI 440 stainless steel provide a practical upgrade over
standard carbon steel bearings in wet or chemically cleaned environments.
They are widely used across UK manufacturing and processing facilities,
including food and packaging operations in Manchester and the North West.

Available in common metric deep groove ball bearing sizes – including
6000, 6200, and 6300 series – as well as insert bearing formats,
stainless steel bearings offer a cost-effective solution where basic corrosion resistance
is required without the complexity of fully sealed or solid-lubricated systems.

Best Uses

Non-intensive washdown areas with light cleaning regimes
General conveyors and exposed rotating components
Applications requiring mild corrosion protection

Key Benefits

Cost-effective entry into food-safe and hygienic bearing selection
Improved corrosion resistance compared to carbon steel bearings
Compatible with rubber seals or metal shields
Reliable performance in low-load, medium-speed environments

Stainless Steel Bearings are commonly selected for applications where hygiene standards
are important but washdown intensity is limited. They provide a balanced combination of
corrosion resistance, availability, and affordability for many UK production environments.
