SA Series

SA series insert bearings are high-performance rolling bearings that are widely used in various mechanical equipment. The design of this bearing allows it to be mounted directly on the support structure, simplifying the installation process and improving work efficiency. SA series bearings have excellent load-carrying capacity and wear resistance, and can operate stably under high load and high speed conditions. The matching precision between the inner ring and the outer ring is high, which effectively reduces friction and heat and increases the service life. In addition, the sealing design of SA series bearings can effectively prevent the intrusion of dirt and moisture and adapt to harsh working environments. Due to their excellent performance, SA series insert bearings are widely used in agricultural machinery, conveying equipment, wind power generation and other industrial fields.

STAINLESS STEEL INSERT BALL BEARING
SA Series
Insert bearing for washdown, humidity, and chemical exposure

The SA Series stainless steel insert ball bearing is designed for equipment exposed to washdown, humidity, and chemical contact. Rings and balls are made of stainless steel, while the inner ring carries a set screw locking arrangement for shaft retention. The outer ring is machined to a spherical contour, so the bearing seats into standard concave pillow block or flanged housings and absorbs shaft deflection without concentrating load on the raceway edge. Both sides are fitted with contact rubber seals, and the bearing is filled with food-grade grease at production. Bore sizes run from 12 mm to 50 mm, and operating temperature stays between -20°C and +110°C. The series is applied in food processing lines, packaging equipment, pharmaceutical machinery, and bottling conveyors.

Stainless rings and balls
Resist rust and surface degradation in wet or mildly corrosive environments, keeping rotation smooth through repeated washdown cycles.
Spherical outer contour
The rounded outer surface seats into concave housings and compensates for small shaft misalignment without transferring edge load to the raceway.
Set screw shaft locking
Two socket set screws secure the inner ring to the shaft, allowing straightforward mounting and removal during planned maintenance windows.
Sanitary grease fill
Factory-filled with food-grade lubricant and sealed on both sides to limit contaminant entry in washdown conditions.
Specification areas
01Food processing conveyorsRoller and shaft support in lines with frequent washdown and sanitizing agent contact.
02Packaging machineryFilling, capping, and labeling units where moisture and product residue are present.
03Pharmaceutical equipmentCleanroom machinery needing corrosion resistance and low particle emission.
04Beverage bottling linesConveyor and drive positions exposed to water spray, syrup residue, and cleaning chemicals.
05Marine and dockside equipmentDeck machinery exposed to salt air and periodic water contact.
06Chemical processing drivesMixing and transfer equipment where mild corrosive media are present.
Procurement questions
Which stainless grade is used in the SA Series?

Rings and balls use a stainless bearing grade suited to wet and mildly corrosive service. The exact grade is confirmed on the material certificate attached to each shipment.

Can the SA Series fit standard pillow block housings?

Yes. The spherical outer contour matches standard concave housing bores, so the insert fits compatible pillow block or flanged units. Verify housing tolerance against the insert outer diameter before assembly.

Is relubrication required during service?

The bearing ships factory-filled with food-grade grease and sealed on both sides. For extended intervals under washdown, replenish at planned maintenance stops after checking the seal lip condition.

What torque applies to the set screws?

Torque values depend on bore size and are listed in the delivery documentation. Over-tightening deforms the inner ring and alters internal clearance, so use a calibrated wrench and thread-locking compound where vibration exists.
