Meridian Laboratory Product
ML6 polyurethane coated bearings combine smooth rotation with enhanced durability, traction, and surface protection. Molded to tight tolerances, they’re ideal for high-speed, high-cycle machinery and are available in standard or fully customized sizes and configurations.
- Manufactured using high-quality, radial ball bearings.
- Precision molded for tight tolerances and low runout, ensuring smooth, consistent rotation.
- Provides surface protection, noise reduction, and enhanced traction in high-speed and high-cycle environments.
- ML6 polyurethane is bonded directly to the bearing OD with unmatched strength and durability.
Polyurethane covered bearings are designed to provide reliable rotational motion while offering the added benefits of surface protection, vibration dampening, and improved longevity. They are ideal for applications involving conveyors, guiding systems, and automated machinery where non-marring contact and precise movement are required. Bearings can be directly molded to or be press-fit into housings depending on the system configuration and preference.
ML6 polyurethane molded bearings are used across a wide range of automation, converting, and industrial applications. They are available in multiple durometers, sizes, and polyurethane thicknesses to meet specific material handling, speed, and load requirements.
Standard ML6 polyurethane covered bearings are manufactured using high-quality sealed radial ball bearings, with stainless steel options available upon request. Both SAE and Metric sizes are offered, with standard bearing sizes.
Custom ML6 polyurethane bearings can be provided with specific bearing types, dimensions, specialized profiles, or application-specific formulas. Meridian Laboratory offers fast turnaround times and cost-effective solutions whether you need a one-off or a high-volume production run.
All ML6 polyurethane coated bearings are manufactured using Meridian Laboratory’s proprietary ML6 formulas, bonded directly to the bearing’s outer diameter or to a precision machined core. This ensures excellent resistance to wear, impact, and tear-off—even under high-speed or continuous-duty conditions.
