One of the largest manufacturers of silkscreening equipment Machinery Involved: Silk-screen printing machinery Regular chemical wash downs, dirt and contamination (even ink) is common. Linear ball bearings weren’t able to tolerate the wash downs, shock loading, or contamination in many of the applications on this machinery. Average life was around 6 week. Catastrophic failure was routine, causing too much expensive downtime. Redesigned silk-screen machinery with Simplicity bearings in several critical application. No need for lubrication. Wash down did not affect the bearing. Shock loads were easily tolerated. Customer Reaction to Solution: Customer was pleased with Simplicity’s ability to tolerate the shock loading, the wash downs, and the contamination while providing long life. Documented Cost Savings: Simplicity Part Used: SFP aluminum flange mounts Qty of Bearings Used: Date of Installation: Photos Available: Illustrations Available: Application Write Up Available:
