Meatl-Polymer Bearings Products

Stainless Steel Sleeve Bushing consists of a stainless steel backing and a porous bronze intermediate layer and overlaid with modified .Because of the combination of metal and polymer, this product
provides low friction coefficient, excellent wear resistance and self-lubrication. The stainless steel backing provides the bush withhigher mechanical strength and load capacity. Moreover, the stainless steel backing can effectively prevent corrosion. Products of ss316 or ss304 series are applied in printing and dyeing machines, applications faced with corrosive environment, etc.

The influence of bearing configuration quality on operation is discussed

In general, the shaft is supported by two bearings in radial and axial direction. The bearing on one side is called fixed end bearing, which bears two kinds of radial and axial loads and plays the role of relative axial displacement between the fixed shaft and the bearing box.The other side of the composite bearing is called the free end, which only bears radial load and can move relatively in the axial direction.

Fixed end bearings must be fixed with the shaft and bearing box at the same time. More suitable bearings are radial bearings that can withstand composite loads, such as deep groove ball bearings, self-aligning roller bearings and double row or diagonal contact ball bearings or tapered roller bearings.Radial bearing combinations that bear pure radial load of dry bearing, such as cylindrical roller bearing with inner and outer ring without guard edge, can also be used as fixed-end bearing by combining with deep groove ball bearing or four-point contact ball bearing or two-way thrust bearing.At this point, the second bearing provides bi-directional axial positioning, but must be installed at a radial distance from the bearing box.When the shaft length changes due to thermal expansion, the free end bearing will not be squeezed.Axial displacement may occur within the bearing, as well as between the bearing ring and the bearing seat.

"Cross fixing" means a bearing arrangement in which each bearing is positioned unidirectionally against the shaft in the opposite direction.This combination is mainly used for short axes.All radial bearings capable of bearing at least one axial load in one direction are applicable, including deep groove and angular contact ball bearings, tapered roller bearings, and NJ type cylindrical roller bearings. When using angular contact ball bearings or tapered roller bearings, preloading must be applied in some cases.

I. bearing selection stage:

There are many factors to consider (e.g., load, hardness, operating environment, etc.). A good bearing design will first enable the bearing to reach its maximum life value.

Ii. Correct storage

Bearings are best kept in their original packaging before installation.You need to be left in a clean, moisture-free, relatively constant temperature environment.Rolling bearings should be free from dust, water and corrosive chemicals.Shaking and vibration may permanently damage the mechanical properties of the bearing, so vibration should be avoided during handling and storage.
General bearings should be stored horizontally, some heavier bearings placed vertically for a long time, due to their own weight and deformation!Also, special care should be taken with greased (or sealed) bearings, as the density of the grease will change over time.When the bearings are used for the first time, there will be a certain degree of rotational noise.Therefore, this kind of bearing shelving time should be in accordance with the first in, first out principle to control!

Iii. Cleaning:

This is very important for rolling bearings.Bearing rings have a smooth rotating surface and are very sensitive to damage caused by contaminants.Particle impurities can be overcrushed by rolling elements, resulting in local pressure in the bearing and eventually permanent material fatigue.

Iv. Re-installation of full equipment:

Bearings should be carefully installed and removed with appropriate tools (see bearing removal series video).Choose the right tool!Industry experts estimate that 16 percent of premature bearing failures are caused by improper mounting.Generally speaking, a large number of installation, generally will adopt appropriate bearing installation equipment.

Beyond Grease: A Deep Dive into Oilless Bushings & Why Viiplus Leads the Way

Friction is the enemy of efficiency. In countless machines, from massive industrial equipment to intricate automotive components, the constant battle against wear and tear dictates performance, longevity, and maintenance costs. Traditionally, grease and oil have been the go-to solutions, but they come with their own set of challenges: frequent re-lubrication, potential contamination, environmental concerns, and limitations in extreme conditions.

Enter the world of oilless bushings, also known as self-lubricating bearings or sliding bearings. These innovative components offer a smarter way to manage friction, delivering reliable movement without the need for external lubrication.

At Viiplus (www.viiplus.com), we don't just supply these components; we engineer solutions. Leveraging deep expertise in metallurgy and tribology (the science of friction, wear, and lubrication), we've become a leading name in sliding bearing technology. But what exactly are oilless bushings, and why should they be on your radar? Let's dive deeper.

What Exactly Are Oilless Bushings? The Science of Self-Lubrication

Unlike traditional ball or roller bearings that rely on rolling elements and require constant lubrication films, oilless bushings operate on the principle of sliding motion. Their "magic" lies in their material composition and structure, designed to provide their own lubrication at the bearing surface. This can be achieved through several key technologies:

1. Solid Lubricants Embedded: Materials like graphite, MoS₂, or PTFE are embedded directly into the metallic matrix (often bronze) of the bushing. As the shaft rotates or slides, a minuscule amount of this solid lubricant is transferred to the mating surface, creating a low-friction film.

2. Porous Metal Structures: Sintered bronze or iron materials are created with microscopic pores. These pores are vacuum-impregnated with oil during manufacturing. In operation, slight heating causes the oil to expand and seep onto the bearing surface, providing lubrication. When it cools, the capillary action draws the oil back in, creating a closed-loop system.

3. Layered Composites: These often feature a strong backing (like steel), an intermediate sintered layer (like bronze), and a low-friction overlay (often PTFE-based). The PTFE layer provides the primary sliding surface, offering extremely low friction.

Contrasting Logic: Oilless vs. Traditionally Lubricated Bearings

The Tangible Benefits: Why Make the Switch?

Choosing oilless bushings isn't just about eliminating grease guns. It's about unlocking significant operational advantages:

• Drastically Reduced Maintenance: This is the most obvious benefit. No re-greasing means less labor, less scheduled downtime, and simplified maintenance protocols. Imagine the savings across a factory floor!

• Enhanced Reliability: Lubricant starvation is a major cause of bearing failure. Self-lubricating bearings ensure consistent lubrication, leading to predictable performance and longer service life, especially in hard-to-reach locations.

• Superior Performance in Harsh Conditions: Oilless bushings excel where traditional lubricants fail:

  • High Temperatures: Certain types can operate at temperatures far exceeding the limits of conventional greases.

  • Low Temperatures: No grease means no stiffening or freezing issues.

  • Contaminated Environments: The absence of sticky grease reduces the ingress of dirt, dust, and debris.

  • Vacuum or Underwater: Ideal for applications where liquid lubricants are impractical or impossible.

• Cost Savings (Total Cost of Ownership): While the initial purchase price might sometimes be higher, the TCO is often significantly lower due to savings on lubricants, labor, downtime, and potential component failure replacement.

• Environmental Friendliness: Eliminating oil and grease leakage prevents contamination of products, machinery, and the environment. Crucial for industries like food processing, pharmaceuticals, and textiles.

• Compact & Simplified Designs: Without the need for lubrication systems (nipples, lines, reservoirs), machine designs can be more compact and streamlined.
