SMB's new non-magnetic bearings brochure...

We're delighted to be starting work on a new brochure, to showcase our non-magnetic bearings - we have plastic (acetal resin), ceramic & 316 grade stainless steel bearings available for a diverse range of applications...

Sometimes applications require bearings to be non-magnetic or non-conductive. Such bearings may be required in medical equipment such as MRI scanners, electron beam process equipment, semiconductor equipment, liquid crystal manufacturing, magnetometers and other areas of the electronics industry for example.

Acetal bearings with 316 stainless steel balls

Different materials for rings, balls and cage are required where a bearing is required to be non-magnetic or non-conductive. We have various options. Our semi-precision acetal resin bearings have either 316 stainless steel balls or glass which fit these requirements. 

Flanged plastic/acetal bearings...

We can supply full ceramic bearings most commonly made from zirconium dioxide or silicon nitride or, alternatively, austenitic stainless steel bearings made from 316 grade stainless steel. The cages are made from non-magnetic and non-conductive material such as acetal resin or PEEK and the balls are either 316 stainless steel or ceramic.

SMB Bearings LTD Website - new pages launched...

Our technical department have been extremely busy lately, fine-tuning aspects of our website so that we can offer the maximum amount of product & technical information to our customers & the newly developed pages have gone live this morning.

Whole new ranges have been added to our portfolio & we can now source ceramic & 316 stainless steel bearings for specialist applications. 

We hope that you can now find all the information that you could possibly ever need on our bearing ranges & support services, but do please feel free to contact us if you need pricing information or advice on bearing selection/ answers to technical questions - we'll look forward to helping you with any enquiries that you may have.

In a short while the site's bearing interchange & search facility will also go live, giving access to (& explanations of) thousands of different manufacturer's part references - we'll let you know just as soon as it's been completed.
