As a manufacturer of ungroun flanged ball bearings, we understand the critical role these components play in the performance and longevity of mechanical systems. Although ungroun flanged ball bearings...
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.
