AC6003-GL SMB Plastic Deep Groove Ball Bearing 17x35x10 mm

AC6003-GL SMB Plastic Deep Groove Ball Bearing 17x35x10 mm

AC6003-GL SMB is a plastic deep groove ball bearing designed for industrial environments where corrosion resistance, low weight and chemical durability are more important than high load capacity.

Construction and design

The AC6003-GL SMB deep groove ball bearing differs from standard steel bearings by using a plastic housing combined with non-metallic rolling elements. This design ensures resistance to moisture, aggressive chemicals and environments where traditional bearings would fail.

The internal geometry follows the classic deep groove ball bearing structure, enabling smooth rotation and stable performance in light-duty applications. The absence of metallic components reduces the risk of corrosion and allows operation in wet or chemically exposed conditions.

Compared to standard 6003 bearings, this plastic bearing 17x35x10 mm offers a unique advantage in industries where hygiene and resistance to contamination are critical.

Industrial applications

The AC6003-GL SMB plastic ball bearing is commonly used in sectors where standard steel bearings are not suitable. Typical applications include:

• food processing and packaging equipment
• chemical and pharmaceutical machinery
• water treatment systems
• light automation and conveyor systems

Its corrosion-resistant properties make it ideal for humid environments and washdown applications.
