Composite Bearings Are Better
Rolling Element Bearings
PolyLube™ bearings are able to handle higher load capacities than traditional rolling element bearings, particularly with shock loading.
Additional Performance Differences:
- Reduce the weight and profile of the bearing–in many cases the weight and profile of the bearing can be reduced by over 50%.
- Higher static load capacities than traditional rolling element bearings–an equivalent sized needle bearing will only have 30% of the static capacity of a composite PolyLube bearing.
- No external lubrication is required with PolyLube bearings–there are no concerns with failed lubrication media resulting in shaft damage.
- By using the PTFE film transfer process instead of macro mechanical moving parts, PolyLube is able to have more predictable performance stability over the life of the application.
