CERAMICSPEED bearing units are FDA compliant

October 11, 2019 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

LM76-CeramicSpeed Bearing Units 4x5x300LM76 is continuing to expand its FDA compliant radial and linear bearing product lines. CERAMICSPEED Bearing Units are the latest additions. Bearings used in the food and beverage industry have to be reliable, easily cleaned, and require only minimal maintenance. CERAMICSPEED Bearing Units featuring FDA-approved Si3N4 (Silicon Nitride) balls have extremely long service life as Si3N4 balls are 2 times harder than steel balls and 4 times smoother. This means, CERAMICSPEED Bearing Units handle higher loads with less friction, resulting in longer life of the balls and the race. Balls made from Silicon Nitride do not change their shape under load and are not subject to spalling which can contaminate the foods or beverages being processed. They are also very tolerant of temperature extremes (-30° to 100°C) and thermal shock.

CERAMICSPEED Bearing Units have also been designed with rounded surfaces and are then covered with polyurethane to create an smooth impenetrable surface where debris, bacteria, water and other liquids cannot collect. Available in standard styles and sizes, these low maintenance bearings are shipped lubricated with and FDA approved grease or with a proprietary SLT lubricant created to be extremely durable and maintenance free for extremely harsh environments.

Founded in 1976, LM76 has been a leading designer/manufacturer of linear bearings, slides and linear motion systems. LM76 is renowned for its industry leading Minuteman Teflon Composite linear bearings. LM76 is a leading supplier of precision linear shafting: RC60, 300 Series Stainless Steel, and ceramic coated aluminum shafting. LM76 also offers several FDA/USDA compliant linear bearings and slides for the food processing, pharmaceutical, medical, and packaging industries.
