FAQ What are the main advantages of a bimetal bearing like the BM 505515?Bimetal bearings offer a great combination of high load-bearing capacity due to their steel backing and excellent self-lubricating, low-friction properties from the PTFE sliding layer. This makes them ideal for maintenance-free applications. Is this bearing suitable for high-speed rotational applications?No, this type of bearing is optimized for high-load, low-speed, or oscillating movements. For continuous high-speed rotation, a ball or roller bearing would be more appropriate. What kind of shaft tolerance is recommended for a 50mm inner diameter bush?For optimal performance and press-fit, it is generally recommended to use a shaft with an h-tolerance (e.g., h8 or h9). However, always consult the specific application and manufacturer’s guidelines for precise recommendations. profideals is not an authorized distributor, reseller or representative of the products featured on this website.
