Self-lubricating metal bearings are manufactured by combining a metal substrate (usually copper alloy or steel) with specific self-lubricating materials (such as solid lubricants, synthetic materials or grease). When these bearings are in operation, they can automatically release lubricants between friction surfaces without the need for external lubricating oil or grease supply, reduce friction coefficients and reduce wear, thereby extending the service life of the bearings.
Advantages of self-lubricating metal bearings
** Reduce maintenance costs: ** Traditional metal bearings usually rely on regular refueling or lubrication, while self-lubricating metal bearings can continuously provide lubrication, greatly reducing the need for manual refueling and maintenance. This not only reduces operating costs, but also avoids downtime.
** Improve work efficiency: ** Since there is no need to frequently refill lubricants, self-lubricating metal bearings can maintain stable working performance, reduce energy loss caused by excessive friction, and thus improve overall work efficiency.
** Improve durability: ** Self-lubricating materials can effectively reduce friction and wear, especially in high temperature and corrosive environments. Compared with traditional bearings, self-lubricating metal bearings perform more stably under extreme conditions and have a longer life.
**Widely applicable:** This type of bearing can be used not only in high-load, high-temperature industrial environments, but also in places where lubrication is difficult, such as closed spaces or highly sealed systems.
Application areas of self-lubricating metal bearings
**Automotive industry:** In automobile manufacturing, self-lubricating bearings used in engines, transmission systems and suspension systems can effectively improve the durability of automobiles, reduce the occurrence of failures, and improve the performance of the entire vehicle.
**Aerospace:** The aviation field has extremely stringent requirements for bearings. Self-lubricating metal bearings can work stably in environments such as extreme temperatures, strong vibrations and vacuum, reducing the maintenance requirements of aircraft when flying at high altitudes.
**Industrial machinery:** Self-lubricating metal bearings are widely used in various industrial equipment, such as compressors, motors, pumps and conveyor belts, to help reduce machine failures and ensure long-term smooth operation of equipment.
**Agricultural equipment:** In agricultural machinery, the use of self-lubricating bearings can reduce damage to machinery under harsh working conditions, improve the durability of machinery, and ensure smooth agricultural production.
