Self-lubricating bearings certainly have their place in many markets and for good reason. In the industrial markets, these bearings are used to operate heavy machinery and therefore must be relied upon to operate effectively at all times. Bearings of this type typically have their own lubrication incorporated into the material from which they are manufactured. The lubrication is usually powdered graphite.
There are many reasons why one would make use of such a bearing in machinery. You can, in fact, find it being used in a variety of industries, including the mining, marine, petrochemical, iron and steel, civil, automotive and materials handling industries. Some of the basic advantages of such bearings are obvious. For starters, the fact that these bearings require no lubrication means that there is a reduction in operating costs and automatically, the machinery requires less in terms of maintenance. When it comes to friction, self-lubricating bearings handle it well and offer great resistance performance.
These bearings are also great for acquiring mechanical accuracy, as they are quick to respond and absolutely efficient each and every time. These are also the ideal bearing to use if you want to reduce operation noise or reduce vibrations of machinery.
