No special machining of the housing is required. Bearings can be replaced since boundary dimensions are identical to standard bearings.
Housing is reusable a very little abrasion occurs on the bore surface of the housing.
Compression of the O-rings, which are mounted in two grooves on the outer ring, improves creep prevention. No special machining is required; bearings can be used with the same housing as standard bearings. In creep limit load tests, the more the housing clearance is reduced, the greater the improvement in creep prevention.
This is due to the compression of the O-ring mounted in the outer ring.
Creep-Free bearings are designed for use in electric motors, pumps and compressors.
