The new brochure introduces the PN Gold bearing which is engineered for extended bearing life in industries with corrosive, washdown environments.

Other features include the patented high performance HPS seal that extends bearing life, wide outer race design for extra grease capacity and 300 series stainless steel setscrews at 120 degrees. USDA/FDA compliant, H1 food grade and SealMaster GoldPlex grease are available grease options. PN Gold is available with passivated 316 stainless steel or high strength reinforced composite housings.
