Baldor has launched washdown versions of its adapter ball bearing range, the Dodge Grip Tight. The maintenance friendly features of these ball bearings can be applied to reduce equipment lifecycle costs in washdown-duty zones of food, pharmaceutical and chemical processing plants. Dodge Grip Tight offers a lower cost of ownership than a conventional ball bearing system, because it features an easy-off adapter system, and housing designs that will accept as many as seven different sizes of fully concentric, 360° shaft rings. The concentric bearing adapter press-fits onto the shaft, and automatically loosens for maintenance or replacement by simply turning a nut which pulls the bearing off and pushes the adapter in the opposite direction. The technology featured in the Dodge bearing also reduces system vibration and allows for quieter operation. Washdown Dodge Grip Tight adapter ball bearings are available in either polymer or stainless steel housings, and with corrosion resistant ball bearings for sizes up to 50 mm.
