Bearings

Problem: A polymer yarn is extruded and cooled through water baths over lengths of several hundred feet. The bearings must be lightweight, corrosion proof and have an extremely low coefficient of friction.

Solution: After thorough testing it was determined that a Jilson bearing (plastic races and cage, Glass balls) had all these features and would meet their stringent requirements. This account has been using Jilson bearings since 1994.

Problem: A manufacturer of food slicing machines was having corrosion and performance problems with the bearings being used. Corrosion, strength, durability and the ability to withstand wash downs are the challenges we needed to solve.

Solution: Jilson designed a bearing with the specific dimensions required composed of Plastic races and Stainless Steel balls.
The customer has stated, “the bearings last too long”.

Problem: A manufacturer of roof racks designed a new rack which allows ease of movement of the crossbars, however the crossbars were binding. A rolling mechanism was needed but it had to be durable, resist all types of weather, cost effective and would not mar the surface of the rack.

Solution: A lightweight bearing composed of plastic races and Stainless Steel balls with the races shaped to allow ease of movement.
