Sanitary Bearings
Overview
Sanitary bearings use NSF H1* food-grade lubricant to provide an extra level of safety in applications such as food processing machinery.
*NSF International: U.S. third party accreditation organization that is internationally recognized in the field of public safety and health. The H1 certification indicates the grease is suited for incidental food contact with a high level of safety.
Product List
Stainless steel bearings packed with NSF H1 food-grade grease for use in food processing machinery and pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment.
Features
- Hygienic and safe
NSF H1 food-grade grease provides a high level of safety for incidental food contact. - Kosher and Halal compliant
Both RLS and BL2 grease are certified to comply with Kosher and Halal dietary laws.
Applications
- Food processing machinery
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment
Molded-Oil™ bearings feature a special material that provides a continuous supply of lubricating oil.
Bearings specialized for food processing machinery use pre-filled NSF H1 food-grade grease.
Features
- Hygienic and safe
NSF H1 food-grade grease provides a high level of safety for incidental food contact. - Improved cleanliness
No need for grease refilling minimizes oil leakage.
Applications
- Food washing equipment
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment

FAQs
Loads are defined by their direction. Loads perpendicular to the shaft are called radial loads and loads parallel to the shaft are called axial (thrust) loads.
While DGBBs can handle axial loads in both directions, single-row angular contact ball bearings can only receive axial load in one direction.
Seals and shields offer additional protection for bearing components and help to improve and maintain lubrication. In terms of sealing performance, sealed bearings rank best, followed by shielded bearings, then finally open bearings. NMT uses supplementary designations D, DU, DW, and V (DD, DDU, DDW, VV) for sealed bearings and Z (ZZ) for shielded bearings. No supplementary designations are listed for open bearings.
