Results for tag: "Plain Bearings"

Plain bearings, also known as bushings, are a type of bearing used to reduce friction between two moving parts. They are typically made of metal, plastic, or composite materials and are used in a variety of applications, including automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery. Plain bearings are designed to provide a low-friction, low-wear solution for applications where high speeds and loads are not a factor. They are often used in applications where lubrication is difficult or impossible, such as in vacuum or underwater environments. Plain bearings are typically used in applications where the load is static or slow-moving, such as in conveyor systems, pumps, and compressors. They are also used in applications where the load is dynamic, such as in engines and transmissions. Plain bearings are often used in combination with other bearing types, such as roller bearings, to provide a more efficient and cost-effective solution. Some of the major companies in the plain bearings market include SKF, Timken, NSK, Schaeffler, JTEKT, NTN, and RBC Bearings. Show Less Read more
