Rust and Corrosion-Resistant Bearings
Shielded Antirust Bearings Page 40
A special corrosion-resistant material is applied to the surface of
conventional antirust bearings to minimize saltwater penetration
and these bearings are located at strategic locations to achieve
even smoother performance. Not only are these bearings resistant
to rust, but they also minimize the formation of salt crystals inside
the bearings, which can lead to corrosion.
