Brand: GATES
GATES BX 56 Severe Duty Deep Groove Ball Bearing | 40x90x23mm | High Performance Industrial Power Transmission
The GATES BX 56 is engineered for maximum reliability in the most punishing industrial power transmission environments, specifically designed to handle the high radial and moderate axial loads characteristic of severe-duty pulley and gearbox applications. Manufactured using high-carbon chrome steel (SAE 52100) and precision-machined to P5 (ABEC 5) dimensional tolerance, this bearing guarantees exceptional rotational accuracy and reduced operational noise. Featuring advanced contact labyrinth seals (2RS) that provide superior protection against ingress of moisture, fine dust, and abrasive contaminants, the BX 56 ensures long-term lubricant retention and minimized maintenance intervals, delivering predictable performance under continuous operation at elevated temperatures and speeds.
Choosing the GATES BX 56 translates directly into maximized uptime and a reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for critical assets. This robust industrial solution is optimized for demanding sectors such as mining and aggregate processing, heavy manufacturing, and agricultural machinery, where unexpected failure is costly. As a component of the GATES power transmission ecosystem, the BX 56 integrates seamlessly with high-performance V-belts and synchronous drives, offering unmatched system synergy and extended service life far exceeding standard commercial-grade bearings. Its robust design is capable of sustained operation under dynamic loads up to 45 kN, securing your investment against premature wear and catastrophic failure.
