Sliding bearings, also known as plain bearings, are a type of bearing that allows for motion between parts with minimal friction. These bearings are composed of a smooth surface that slides over another surface without the need for rolling elements, such as balls and rollers. Sliding bearings are employed in various applications due to their durability and versatility. Their primary functions include supporting and guiding moving parts and reducing friction. Growth in the automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors directly contributes to market expansion. In addition, innovations in materials and manufacturing processes can enhance the performance and lifespan of sliding bearings. However, environmental concerns associated with the use of lubricants in sliding bearings limit the adoption of sliding bearings. Intense competition and the availability of a wide range of alternatives create hindrances in market growth. Furthermore, the development of self-lubricating and maintenance-free sliding bearings, along with the advancements in material technology for enhanced performance, creates potential opportunities for market growth.
