Special bearings are required for medical and pharmaceutical applications due to the unique demands and stringent requirements of these industries. In medical and pharmaceutical applications, the bearings must be capable of operating in cleanroom environments and must comply with regulations such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. This means that the bearings must be made from materials that are safe for use in medical applications, such as stainless steel, ceramic, or plastic, and must be designed to withstand sterilization processes such as autoclaving or gamma irradiation.
Furthermore, the bearings used in medical and pharmaceutical applications must be designed to provide high accuracy, smooth operation, and low noise levels, as they are often used in precision equipment such as pumps, ventilators, and imaging devices. They must also be able to withstand high speeds and loads, as well as corrosive environments, making them suitable for use in harsh conditions.
