# Corrosion of Bearings from Moisture, Detergents, and Disinfectants

## Corrosion from Moisture, Detergents, and Disinfectants

Constant contact with moisture, acids, and alkalis in detergents accelerates corrosion of bearing metal components. This is one of the main causes of premature failure in the food industry.

## Corrosion Factors

- High humidity and condensation
- Acids and alkalis in detergent formulations
- Salt and mineral deposits

## Protection Measures

Stainless steel bearings (AISI 440C, AISI 316) with ceramic balls and special anti-corrosion coatings are used. Lubricants must be resistant to washing out and chemical exposure.
