HOW THE SURROUNDINGS INFLUENCE PLANE BEARINGS
Polymer plane bearings made of specially modified
compounds for the best operating results in maintenancepoor
or maintenance-free surroundings. Through many years
of experiences we have continuously improved our materials.
Today, we are able to cover a large segment of applications
with our products.
Many factors have an influence on the successful operation
of plane bearings. Temperature is a determining factor.
Polymers change their properties more radically at different
temperatures than conventional metal-polymer bearings.
Approximate values and orientation cannot replace a test
under real everyday conditions of a system. Check operational
temperature, loads, life, safety and the insertion tolerance
and lubrication edge pressures or unwanted inclusion of dirt
particles.
