Creep-Free Bearings TM

A new bearing series that is indispensable for drive units

in equipment such as motors for general use.
Prevents creep when used with rotating loads, plus offers New!
a reusable housing and easy assembling.
 The O-rings significantly help to prevent the occurrence of
creep when fitted with loose housing tolerances. Also, since 3. Creep-Free Bearings

Creep-Free Bearings, which come with two O-rings mounted in the outer ring, help to prevent the occurrence of 12 32 10 6 800 3 050 6201 ZZ DDU VV
creep by restricting the amount of clearance between the outer ring and housing. 37 12 9 700 4 200 6301

No special machining is required; bearings can be used with the same housing as standard bearings.

In creep limit load tests, the more housing clearance is reduced, the greater the improvement in creep prevention, 42 13 11 400 5 450 6302
due to the tension of the O-ring mounted in the outer ring. 35 10 6 000 3 250 6003
