xirodur® C160 | Low-cost chemical resistant
The material xirodur® C160 exhibits high chemical resistance at temperatures from 0 °C to +60 °C. In addition to good chemical resistance, the material has low media absorption. However, this is offset by higher wear and lower load absorption than xirodur® B180 and xirodur® A500.
Typical areas of application:
- Food industry (system cleaning with chemicals)
- Electroplating
- Semiconductor industry
- Vacuum applications
- Autoclave applications
Tolerances and measuring system:
The tolerances for inner and outer diameters depend on the size. These are often approx. ±0.05 mm to the nominal dimension. The bearing rings are usually injection molded and naturally exhibit a certain ovality. For this reason, the caliper gauge is used to measure 90° to the injection point (if present) over the entire width of the bearing. The dimensions and tolerances are designed to meet an easy press fit by hand when using a H7 mounting as well as shaft h6. Additional axial securing by means of a circlip (shaft) and snap ring (housing) is recommended to prevent axial displacement.

Mounting recommendation:

1. mounting (tolerance H7)
2. front side (balls visible)
3. rear side (cage visible)
4. press in ball bearing with front side first
5. mount shaft (tolerance h6) with chamfer
6. an axial safety device must be provided
