What are the main applications of plain bearings?
In order to improve the friction properties of the bearing surface, the antifriction material layer, which is cast on its inner surface, is called the bearing lining. Bearing and bearing lining materials are collectively referred to as journal bearing materials. The application of sliding bearings is usually under the condition of high speed and light load.For example: construction machinery, marine equipment, water conservancy projects, aviation, aerospace, railways and other fields.Compared with rolling bearings, plain bearings have the characteristics of high bearing capacity, good seismic resistance, stable and reliable operation, low noise and long service life.
Sliding bearings (sliding, bearing) bearings that work under sliding friction. Plain bearings work smoothly, reliably and without noise. Under the condition of liquid lubrication, the sliding surface is separated by the lubricant without direct contact, and the friction loss and surface wear can be greatly reduced. The oil film also has a certain vibration absorption capacity. But the starting friction resistance is larger. The shaft supported by the bearing is called the journal, and the part that matches the journal is called the bush.
Plain bearings are mainly used in:Automobiles, motorcycles, hydraulic machinery,Metallurgical machinery, forging machinery, oil field machinery,Construction machinery, mining machinery, power facilities, etc.
