1. Sealed Ball BearingsStructure: Sealed ball bearings feature integrated shields (e.g., metal 2Z shields) or contact seals (e.g., rubber 2RS seals) that enclose the rolling elements, preventing conta...
A mild steel guard is a protective component commonly used in bearing assemblies and various machinery to protect components from dust, debris and other contaminants and extend bearing life.
Low carbon steel typically contains about 0.05% to 0.25% carbon, which makes it more malleable and easier to form than high carbon steel, and FTM's selection of low carbon steel materials provides a good balance of strength and price, providing basic protection in many applications.
Although mild steel has moderate wear resistance, protective coatings (such as galvanizing) may be required in humid or corrosive environments.
