GMW Bearings For Cold and Cryogenic Applications

Low temperature bearings are designed to withstand extremely low temperatures, which ordinary bearings cannot. Ordinary bearings can only withstand temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius, and at such low temperatures, the internal crystallization affects the rotation, which results in the bearing being directly frozen and locked.

In contrast, GMW low temperature bearings suffix LT2 are engineered to avoid this issue, ensuring reliable and consistent performance in low temperature environments. GMW bearings are able to succeed in these environments with long-lasting, low-maintenance results, due to their unique features.

Advantages of  Bearings for Low Temperatures:

• Lubricating: Special Grease Low Temperature, maintenance-free required for long periods of time
• Temperature range: Operate from -60°C to +110°C
• Material: Low-temperature bearing is often manufactured with stainless bearing steel 9CR18 and 9CR18MO
• C3 clearance design
• Low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
• Non-galling

Applications for GMW:

• Flash Freezing Lines
• Cryogenic Pumps- Liquid Gases
• Frozen Food Conveyors
• Ice/Dry Ice Machines
• Cold Weather Exposed Equipment

Full range of product codes such as:

• 6000 … 6022
• 6200 … 6222
• 6300 … 6322

There are many types to choose from: No cover (Open), two covers (2Z) and Nitrile rubber seals (NBR)
