Roller bearings
The main reasons for the use of xiros® B180 polymer ball bearings in a deburring system for circuit boards were the very good corrosion resistance, and freedom from lubrication of ball bearings.
Film guide rollers
There is no contamination of the films through lubricants, due to the use of maintenance-free xiros® flange bearings.
Indexing table
This indexing table is used to test metal balls for cracks and dimensional accuracy. xiros® polymer ball bearings are used here as wheels for the ball trolleys.
Plastic ball bearing in guide rollers
The xiros® plastic ball bearings are cheaper by one-half than the previously used bearings in the cost comparison.
Thermoforming machine
In this thermoforming machine for coffee creamer packages, the xiros® A500 polymer ball bearings are used due to their high chemical resistance.
Small robots
Two xiros® B180 polymer ball bearings are used as wheels for the low-priced small mobile robot. They guarantee an absolutely smooth and easy operation without maintenance and lubrication.
