Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The INA metal-polymer composite plain bearings offer economical solutions for industrial and automotive applications, particularly effective for oscillating movements. These bearings are lead-free, environmentally friendly, and have a longer rating life compared to conventional materials. They are available in maintenance-free (E40) and low-maintenance (E50) versions, featuring a porous bronze-sintered structure on a steel or bronze backing, impregnated with a special plastic compound for low-noise and low-friction operation.
Material Characteristics
The bearings are designed for use in various environments, including water, due to their high moisture resistance. The E40 material is maintenance-free, utilizing a PTFE-based sliding layer, while the E50 requires initial lubrication and is based on POM. Both materials offer low friction and thermal stability, with the E40 being suitable for dry running and the E50 for lubricated conditions.
Technical Data
These bearings support static loads up to 250 N/mm² and are suitable for high sliding speeds. They are available with steel and bronze backings, offering high load capacity and thermal conductivity. The E40 and E50 materials have different permissible loads and temperatures, with E40 allowing for a wider temperature range.
Applications
INA bearings are used in various sectors, including construction machinery, agricultural machinery, fluid technology, commercial vehicles, sports equipment, automotive, power generation, and railway applications. They are ideal for components like joints, bearings, and linkages in these industries.
Conclusion
INA metal-polymer composite plain bearings provide a versatile and economical alternative for applications requiring compact and lightweight solutions with high performance and durability.

Material Characteristics The right material combination for every application E40 is the Schaeffler Group's new lead- free sliding material for maintenance-free metal-polymer composite plain bearings. There is no lubrication requirement over the entire operating life. The sliding layer is based on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with embedded inert additives. The triple layer material comprises the steel backing, the sliding layer and the running-in layer (see graphic). The steel backing has a sintered porous tin-bronze sliding layer with pores that are filled with the dry lubricant of the running-in...
