What Bearing do I need for Running Under Water?
under water bearings
I am looking for some [B]guidance and directions[/B] on what to use under water.
I am will be putting a belt (more like the treadmill belt) in the water.
I need 4 bearings to hold the belt down.
the belt will operate in the water (underwater).
the water in the tank can be emptied and cleaned etc. saying this dry operation is not required.
the water is NOT salty or any acids it is just a normal chlorine treated water (like tap / swimming pool water)
The shaft be 16mm or 18mm (0.62~0.70")
Sorry for the attached hand drawn drawing.
Now,
what type of bearing should I use?
something without moving parts?
is there are sealed fully sealed metal bearings?
PTFE type materials (rulon etc)
any help is appreciated.
