Self-lubricating bearings for Heavy-Duty Applications-3

deva.metal® is a family of high performance, selflubricating bearing materials. The deva.metal system is based on four main groups – bronze, iron, nickel and stainless steel – each containing dry solid lubricant, most commonly graphite, uniformly dispersed within the metal matrix. Important selection criteria are the sliding speed, speciﬁc load, temperature and other application-speciﬁc inﬂuences. deva.metal  normally requires no lubrication.  is suitable for translatory, rotational and oscillating movements with cylindrical guide or also for direct surface use. These movements can occur individually...

Self-lubricating bearings for Heavy-Duty Applications-7

Maintenance-free bearing technology at a glance The market for self-lubricating and maintenance-free bearings is growing rapidly within the Heavy-Duty Industries. Increasing maintenance cost, the pressure of competition and the need to be environmentally friendly is leading companies to change the way bearings have been used for decades. Grease is substituted with solid lubricants which form a ﬁlm with low friction between the bearing and the mating part, thus separating them from each other. This allows a low and controlled wear combined with low friction. Extreme operating conditions and challenges...
