High pressure and slow movement ideal for plain bearings

摘要

AMPEP self-lubricating plain bearings are suitable for applications where bearing pressures are high, movement is slow and maintenance is difficult or impossible. They are used extensively in fixed-wing aircraft and helicopter airframe and flight control systems. Plain bearings are also found in a wide range of applications, particularly on advanced mass transit systems, high-performance cars, military vehicles, marine equipment and power generation equipment. AMPEP, part of the SKF group, is a specialist and has a leading position in the manufacture and design of high technology self-lubricating plain bearings for aerospace and industrial markets. AMPEP plain bearings have many distinct and valuable advantages, providing solutions to a variety of difficult applications. Such plain bearings are maintenance-tree, operating without lubrication whilst tolerating many lubricating and non-lubricating fluids. Other product characteristics include a wide operating temperature range from -50 to +200 ℃, a very high ratio of bearing stress to mass, minimum stick slip, relatively low coefficient of friction, high resistance to wear and tolerance of solid contamination, all coupled with low life cycle cost.
