SKF Straight bushing Low-maintenance Steel /POM PCM 505540 M

POM composite plain bearings are designed to operate under marginal lubrication conditions. The sliding surface of these plain bearings contains grease reservoirs which should be filled prior to installation. It is not necessary to relubricate these plain bearings, but the presence of a lubricant can extend the plain bearing service life considerably. To protect the mating surface against corrosion, grease can be applied periodically.

Advantages of POM composite plain bearings include:

• maintenance-free operation
• very good frictional properties
• high load carrying capacity
• high sliding velocity
• small operating clearance

Applications include:

• agriculture equipment
• construction machinery
• material handling equipment
• home appliances and consumer goods
