FAFNIR 38 PP Industrial Deep Groove Ball Bearing (DGBB) – Double Contact Sealed (2RS) – High Contamination Protection
The FAFNIR 38 PP bearing is engineered for demanding industrial environments where particle contamination and moisture ingress are primary concerns. This premium deep groove ball bearing features optimized internal geometry and precision-matched steel components for superior operational stability and reduced running noise. Utilizing the robust PP (Polymer/Plastic) contact seal configuration (equivalent to 2RS), the 38 PP ensures exceptional retention of high-performance factory grease while providing a robust barrier against dust, fluids, and abrasive media. Its advanced heat-treated chrome steel construction (52100 grade) guarantees high fracture toughness and resistance to fatigue, translating directly into extended Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) under continuous heavy radial and moderate axial loads.
Designed for maximum uptime and minimal maintenance intervention, the 38 PP series is ideal for applications requiring high reliability in wet or dusty conditions, such as conveyor systems, agricultural machinery, heavy-duty pumps, and HVAC industrial fans. The pre-lubricated, sealed-for-life design eliminates the need for complex relubrication schedules, significantly lowering total cost of ownership (TCO). This bearing offers a market-leading balance of high dynamic load capacity (Cr = 40.5 kN) and limiting speed, making it the definitive choice for engineers seeking precision, durability, and operational efficiency from their rotating equipment components. FAFNIR quality ensures dimensional accuracy consistent with ISO P6 precision standards.
