Low Carbon Steel Shield

A low carbon steel shield, also known as a mild steel guard, is a protective component widely used in bearing assemblies and machinery to block dust, debris, and other contaminants, effectively extending bearing service life. Containing approximately 0.05% to 0.25% carbon, low carbon steel offers superior formability and ductility compared to high carbon steel. This makes it well-suited for precision stamping and shaping processes. FTM's carefully selected low carbon steel materials strike an excellent balance between mechanical strength and cost efficiency, delivering reliable protection for general-purpose applications. While mild steel provides moderate wear resistance, it is advisable to apply protective surface treatments—such as zinc plating or oil coating—when used in humid or corrosive environments, ensuring long-term durability and corrosion resistance.

Low Carbon Steel Shield: Properties, Uses, and Best Suppliers

The Big Problem With Shields

Do you make things that spin? Do they need to stay clean? Dirt can stop your parts from working well. Dust can get in. Water can make rust. When bad stuff gets in your parts, they break fast. This costs you lots of money. Your customers get mad. You lose sales. [^1]

This is bad news for you! When your bearings fail, work stops. Machines break down. People wait. Money is lost. Every day with broken parts means less money for you.

But wait! There is a way to fix this. Low carbon steel shields can keep your bearings safe. They stop bad stuff from getting in. Our metal shields are the answer you need!

What Are Low Carbon Steel Shields?

Low carbon steel shields are thin metal parts. They have just a bit of carbon (0.05–0.25%). This makes them easy to bend and shape. They can be made to fit just right. They keep dirt out of your bearings.

Founded in 2004, Our Company makes the best metal bearing shields. We make shields that fit just right for you. Our shields are very, very good. They work better than other shields. [^2]
