A range of plain bush bearings has been designed to directly replace common recirculating ball bushings. Euro-Bearings Ltd claims that the new plain bearings are a more versatile and competitive alternative in industrial applications for plant, maintenance and services engineers.
Types include a ceramic coated version for harsh applications and one with a stainless steel outer shell and ceramic core. High linear, rotating and reciprocating loads can be accommodated.
No lubrication is needed and the bearings can withstand washdowns. Fully closed or slotted configurations, including a self aligning one, can be specified and supply can be with or without seals. Diameter range is from 5mm to 80mm and shafts, housings and pillow blocks are also available.
