Self-lubricating sintered bearings
Pav. 25 Stand C48
The oil contained in the porosity provides a constant lubrication between bushing and shaft, so the system does not need any additional external lubricant. Self-lubrication allows this type of sliding bearing to work under hydrodynamic conditions, resulting in a very low friction coefficient.
The self-lubricating sintered bearings are commonly present in electrical and mechanical equipment for cars, electric motors and gearboxes, actuators, household appliances, home fittings, and many different industrial applications.
A self-lubricating sintered bearing (or bushing) is a metallic component with high porosity (20-25% in volume) impregnated in a lubricant oil.
AMES also offers SELFOIL® bearings in standard dimensions with permanent stock and immediate delivery, and SELFOIL® Rods for Machining when it is not possible to adapt the system to a standard bearing. More information at www.selfoil.com
