BX 36 High-Performance Deep Groove Industrial Ball Bearing (35x72x17mm) - Severe Duty Applications
The BX 36 Industrial Bearing is engineered for relentless performance in high-speed and contaminated environments typical of power transmission and severe-duty machinery. Manufactured with ultra-clean, vacuum-degassed 52100 high-carbon chromium steel, this bearing features precision-honed raceways and a robust internal design (C3 operational clearance) to minimize heat buildup and vibration under continuous operational loads. The advanced internal geometry ensures optimized rolling element spacing and contact angles, providing superior radial and moderate axial load capacity compared to standard commercial-grade units. This design is crucial for maximizing uptime in critical applications such as large industrial pumps, motors, gearboxes, and heavy-duty conveyor systems.
Designed as a reliable drop-in replacement, the BX 36 utilizes advanced NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) contact seals on both sides (2RS), effectively retaining specialized high-performance grease while blocking ingress from dust, moisture, and fine particulate matter. This 'lubricated for life' configuration significantly reduces periodic maintenance costs and labor time, making it an ideal choice for operations focused on total cost of ownership (TCO) reduction. The superior static and dynamic load ratings guarantee exceptional service life even when subjected to shock loads and frequent start/stop cycling, ensuring compatibility and sustained performance within established GATES drive system standards.
