The SSSB is made from 440C series stainless steel and is corrosion resistant. The SSSB insert has a spherical OD which allows it to self-align when mounted in various types of Corrosion Resistant Mounted Bearing housings.
It features a Silicon Contact Seal designed to keep lubricant in while keeping contaminants out. The SSSB insert is charged with Mobil FM222 NSF H1 grease for washdown applications. The the silicon seal is bonded to a stainless steel front plate that is crimped in place on the circumference of the outer ring.
The set screw area is high frequency annealed to reduce the potential for cracking in this critical area. The set screws are knurled cup-point stainless steel for increased shaft locking. This version is available in the 204 and 205 series sizes only. They are primarily used in tight applications where space is at a premium. They can also be used in pressed stainless steel housings for light load applications.
The SSSB insert comes standard as a regreaseable type with a grease access hole(s) machined in the outside diameter.
