VICAN STAINLESS STEEL

STAINLESS STEEL RACE AND BALL BEARINGS

We can call this line of deep groove ball bearings “conventional bearings” as they are the type of bearing most commonly found on the market and have the sole purpose of fulfilling the rotational function of the mechanism in which it will work.

VICAN stainless steel bearings, as well as any other stainless steel deep groove ball bearings, are not intended to improve performance or seek any significant gains or increase durability.

Due to physical-chemical treatments, stainless steel stands out for being more resistant to oxidation compared to other metal alloys such as chrome steel which makes stainless steel bearings a great option for those looking for great value for money.

However, it is important to emphasize that this type of material is “resistant to” and not “proof of” oxidation. Lack of adequate care for the parts, whether in storage, cleaning or lubrication can cause corrosion due to contamination of the material.

INOX steel VICANs are produced with two types of stainless steel in their components:

Races or Rings – 440 stainless steel

Balls – 440 stainless steel

Cage – 304 stainless steel

Stainless steel bearings must always be lubricated for proper functioning and to protect them from possible oxidation. We recommend the use of our special fluids for cleaning and adequate lubrication of this type of material.
