LUB-MET® Spherical Plain Bearing

Materials

• Stainless steel / CuZn25Al5, CuAl10Ni
• Sliding layer Bronze alloy with solid lubricant

Tolerance details

• Housing Ø According to customer´s specification
• Bushing inner-Ø after mounting According to customer´s specification
• Shaft tolerance According to customer´s specification

Properties

• Maintenance-free, no lubrication necessary
• High load capacity
• Compatible with all DIN – spherical plain bearings
• Applicable in water with special SL4 solid lubrication plugs
• Best suitable for movements which occur only in long intervals
• The LUB-MET®/ stainless steel combination guarantees a faultless and long-term functionality of the bearing
• Application at e.g. valve, barrage assets, ball valves, guide vane bearings, dampers, off shore applications etc.
• Large dimensions > 500 mm possible, see data sheet
• Many specials designs are possible beyond standard measurements
• Through application of different Bronze and Steel alloys this bearing can be used in many different applications
• The loose bearing type combines a LUB-MET® ball with a stainless steel outer ring
• The fixed bearing type has a LUB-MET® outer ring with a stainless steel ball
• These spherical plain bearings feature the sliding properties of LUB-MET®
• This is a maintenance-free material which in respect of wear, is among the most durable materials
• LUB-MET® Spherical plain bearings are produced predominantly in stainless steel in the bearing areas. But the use of different materials is possible
• Depending on the bronze alloy, it can be used without specific constrictions or additional sealing in most of the liquid mediums in connection with stainless steel
• Only at very abrasive mediums additional seals are recommended or necessary to prevent early wear

Range of application

• Valve, barrage assets, ball valves, guide vane bearings, dampers, etc.

Maintenance

• Not necessary
