Maintenance-Free Rolling for Wet and Washdown Areas

A Delrin bearing is a solid acetal plastic bushing rather than a steel ball or roller bearing. Because there is no metal bearing to rust and no grease to wash out, Delrin bearings thrive in environments that destroy steel bearings: washdown areas, food processing, wet floors, and chemical exposure. They never need lubrication and resist corrosion, so they keep rolling cleanly with zero maintenance. The trade-off is slightly more rolling resistance than a precision ball bearing, which is rarely an issue at light to medium loads.

Frequently Asked Questions About Delrin Bearing Casters

Delrin is an acetal plastic. A Delrin bearing is a solid plastic bushing instead of a steel ball or roller bearing. It cannot rust, needs no lubrication, and resists water and many chemicals, making it ideal for washdown and wet environments.

Steel bearings rust in wet conditions and need grease that can wash out or contaminate products. Delrin bearings do neither. They are maintenance-free and corrosion-proof, which is why they are standard in food, pharmaceutical, and washdown applications.

No. That is one of their main advantages. The solid plastic bearing runs dry with no grease points to service, so there is nothing to maintain and nothing to wash out or contaminate. They are truly maintenance-free.

These range from about 140 to 1,250 lbs per caster depending on wheel size and material. Delrin bearings suit light to medium loads. For very heavy loads, a precision ball or roller bearing carries more, but Delrin wins on corrosion resistance and zero maintenance.

Delrin Bearing Casters: Corrosion-Proof, No Lubrication

Delrin, an acetal plastic, makes a bearing that cannot rust, does not need grease, and shrugs off water and many chemicals. This makes it the right choice anywhere a steel bearing would corrode or where grease would contaminate the product: food and beverage, pharmaceutical, washdown, and wet processing. It is quiet, clean, and truly maintenance-free, with no lubrication points to service.

Delrin bearing casters in this collection span 2.5 to 8 inch wheels and roughly 140 to 1,250 lbs per caster, in polyolefin, rubber, polyurethane, nylon, and phenolic. Polyolefin and polyurethane pair naturally with Delrin for fully washable, corrosion-resistant casters. Swivel, rigid, and brake versions are available for carts and equipment in clean and wet environments.
