Tag: Composite Plastic Bearings

Manufacturers use a wide range of composite materials to manufacture composite bearings. The most common composite materials are composite plastic and fiber-reinforced resin. Composite plastic bushings combine solid lubricants, fibrous reinforcements and thermoplastics. The percentage of constituents can be varied to manufacture composite bearings for specific applications. These bearings have a predictable lifetime.    Composite bearings don’t require external lubrication and maintenance. They have corrosion and debris resistance. A composite bearing fits precisely. It maintains high compressive strength, dampens vibrations and conducts heat efficiently. Here are the reasons for using composite bearings: Lighter Weight  Composite bearings materials weigh less than metal beari...
