If you work with applications where low noise is of importance and where the loads are variable, sintered bearings are most probably the preferred bearing to use. Sintered bearings are also called self-lubricating bearings and are manufactured from a pressed metal powder that forms a porous bearing material. The bearing material is impregnated with a lubricant oil that ensures that the bearing is always well-lubricated and that friction never becomes a concern.
The type of lubricant that is used will have a direct impact on the lifespan of your bearing and how well it works in its application. The lubricant has to be compatible with the bearing material. It is important to choose your lubricant based on its viscosity, compatibility with plastic, thermal behaviour and start-up wear. You will find that sintered or self-lubricating bearings are used in many applications including the likes of electric motors for cars, fans and cooking equipment, power tools and a variety of household appliances.
One of the biggest advantages of these bearings is that they offer a long service life and probably cost the least in terms of on-going maintenance, when compared with other bearing types. They can also work effectively under heavy loads and high temperatures without failing or showing premature wear. If your are looking for a durable bearing, the sintered bearing may fit the bill for your application too.
