CIE delivers the corrosion resistance and superior hardness of stainless steel in a wide variety of bearing types, ideal for applications in food/beverage, medical and other environments where moisture, corrosive or abrasive materials are present.
|
Two Types
Specifiers of CIE stainless steel bearings have a choice of two steel options, both providing excellent hardness characteristics and a high level of corrosion resistance. |
DD400™
0.7% C; 13% Cr
A 400 series Martensitic stainless steel combined with a proprietary heat treating process, miniature and instrument bearings manufactured from "DD" equal or surpass AISI bearings in hardness and corrosion resistance, and offer superior low noise characteristics. DD400 bearings commonly run smoother, last longer, and provide better performance at low torque. |
AISI 440C
1% C, 17% Cr, .5% Mo
A hardened , martensitic stainless steel, 440C is the standard choice for a wide range of military and commercial applications. 440C is suitable for applications which require corrosion resistance in a thermal range from room to mid-hot. |
