xiros® polymer ball bearings need no external lubrication, are corrosion resistant (when used with glass or polymer balls) and run smoothly, making them a cost-effective alternative to steel bearings. Made from a blend of film-forming compounds, the all-polymer components are lightweight, chemically resistant and non-magnetic, and can be used safely in medical or food processing environments. The xiros® polymer material consists of a blend of base polymer and solid lubricants, with balls usually made from glass, polymer or stainless steel.
