Composite Bearings Are Better
Sintered Metallic Bearings
Sintered metallic bearings have innate limitations due to their structure and lubrication mechanisms. Sintered materials dramatically reduce impact or shock loading capability, as well as static and dynamic loading capacities.
Additional Performance Differences:- At best, dynamic capacities of 8,000 PSI.
- Alloyed bronze bearings have the highest dynamic capacity within this family-and that is 10,000 PSI or less than 5 SFM with lubrication.
- Lowered impact or fatigue strength properties.
- Prone to corrosion and shaft fretting.
- Many times burnishing tools are required to get product to final geometric tolerances.
