One current application for this bearing is in the seal and bearing system in water sealed vacuum pumps.  The performance is already outstripping that of the conventional bearings applied to these machines.  Other water lubricated areas or potential applications are in drilling rig thrust heads, special underwater plant and machinery, submerged screw conveyors, sewage treatment plant, and many more than can be listed.

Dry, wet or in between, F20 provides exceptional performance in all types of atmosphere.

Let us review why you should be using the Sheedy 1000 Bearing fitted with Fechnerplas 20 (F20).

The properties which make use of this material in our bearing are:-

  1. It will not weld to metal, therefore will not seize;
  2. It will withstand high and low temperature, with NO NEED OF LUBRICATION;
  3. It will resist corrosion and therefore may be situated within corrosive media.

Sheedy Bearings fitted with (F20) may be used in many different types of equipment and environments where classical bearings cannot be used.

The Sheedy 1000 Bearing is made from high grade steel treated with a special surface conversion process and hardened to give in excess of 1500 hours salt spray test resistance.

The Sheedy 1000 Bearing can be made to interchange with all conventional bearings, from self-aligning to radial and the full range of cam followers and rollers.

Temperature range for this bearing is minus 204 degrees C to plus 316 degrees C and is run DRY with NO LUBRICANTS required.

Uses for the Sheedy 1000 Bearing fitted with (F20) are unlimited such as ovens, freezers, pumps, central heating, air conditioners, drying ovens, boilers, conveyors for mining and food processing and conveyor rollers for the mining, printing, and metal processing industries.
