[Features]
The radial dry plain bearings have a sliding layer made from ELGOTEX and a twin layer structure:
-The outer layer (the backing) ensures the strength of the bush. It comprises continuous glass fibres that are additionally stabilised by means of a specific winding angle, giving an increase in strength. The fibres are bound in epoxy resin.
-The inner layer (sliding layer), contains a Polymer/PTFE yarn that is embedded together with fillers and solid lubricants in a resin matrix.
Due to the combination of fibres and resin matrix, the bushes are suited in preference for dry-running applications.
[Advantages]
Plain bearings with an ELGOTEX sliding layer:
-are maintenance-free for the whole operating life;
-can be used to replace steel, bronze and plastic plain bearings;
-have high radial load carrying capacity;
-are suitable for high, static loads;
-are resistant to shocks;
-are suitable for high alternating loads and swivel motion;
-have good resistance to corrosive media;
-are suitable for applications involving vibration due to their good damping characteristics;
-can be used for axial motion;
-can be fitted easily, since they are simply pressed into housing bores and require no further means of axial location;
-can also be combined with separate, additional seals.
[Sealing]
The plain bearings are not sealed. In order to give protection against abrasive contaminants, however, they can be supplied with integrated seals.
[Lubrication]
Due to the material pairing used, the plain bearings are maintenance-free for the whole of the operating life.
(Note: Do not lubricate the bearings. Lubricant increases wear and considerably reduces the life of the bushes.)
[Areas of application]
The key areas for the new plain bushes are:
-agricultural and forestry machinery and equipment;
-lifting and transfer equipment;
-construction machinery;
-metalworking machinery;
-packaging machinery;
-tail lift platforms;
-hydraulic cylinder guides;
-steel and hydraulic construction;
-solar energy applications.
