Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 304 designation mean on the BS 6207 SS-304 bearing?
A: The 304 designation specifies the grade of stainless steel used in the bearing. 304 stainless offers superior corrosion resistance compared to lower-grade stainless steels. It resists most acids, salts, and environmental corrosion and is the industry standard for food processing and cold storage equipment.
Q: What is the difference between BS 6207 SS-304 and BS 6207 SS?
A: Both use stainless steel construction, but BS 6207 SS-304 uses higher-grade 304 stainless material for enhanced corrosion resistance and durability. The 304 variant is preferred for aggressive wet environments, freezer units, and chemical exposure on pallet jacks.
Q: Does the BS 6207 SS-304 come with shields?
A: The BS 6207 SS-304 is a 2RS variant, meaning it includes dual rubber seals for contamination protection. The 2RS designation works in conjunction with the 304 stainless steel to provide maximum protection in wet and cold storage environments.
Q: Is the BS 6207 SS-304 suitable for food processing equipment?
A: Yes. The 304 stainless steel grade meets sanitation and corrosion resistance standards for food processing environments. The sealed construction prevents contamination ingress. Verify compliance requirements with your facility before use.
Q: What is the lifespan of the BS 6207 SS-304 in cold storage applications?
A: Under normal cold storage operation with regular inspections, expect 2-4 years. 304 stainless resists temperature cycling and moisture better than chrome steel. Replace when noise develops, wheels show uneven wear, or lateral play increases.
