QCB Thermoplastic bearing housings are manufactured in a high-grade glass-filled thermoplastic polyester and are completely interchangeable with conventional cast-iron housings, resulting in a maintenance free housing with excellent mechanical strength, stiffness and dimensional stability that will never rust or corrode.

No paint or coating to chip or peel…

Coated or plated cast-iron housings can scratch, chip and peel.  The very act of installation can damage the surface finish, especially around the edges of the bolts.  Because QCB Thermoplastic housings are solid PBT, coatings are not required for protection. And even if they are scratched or damages, no vulnerable cast iron is exposed.

QCB Thermoplastic housings are durable…

With a tensile strength pf 17 300 psi, and the ability to be pressure washed with hot water, QCB Thermoplastic housings will stand up to the toughest working conditions

All other housing parts are 304 stainless steel

To maximise corrosion resistance, not only is the bearing insert stainless steel, but so are the bolt inserts and grease nipples.  Bearing inserts are prefilled with an FDA approved grease

Used in many industries

Because of their corrosion resistance and non-magnetic properties, QCB Thermoplastic housings find application in a wide array of industries including food processing, canning, bottling, pharmaceutical, chemical processing and other general industrial applications.

A complete range

QCB Thermoplastic bearings are available in a wide range of style and sizes with both inch and metric inserts. Snap-on closed end covers are supplied standard with optional through shaft style covers as an optional extra.
