What is Plain Bearings?

Plain Bearings ( or some people called it Bushings) is one type of bearings family. Most of the plain bearings is made of low friction materials and some of them need to be lubricated ( to lower the friction value).  The main function of plain bearings are:
   
1. To protect the housing and shaft from contacting each other directly and wear off.
2. As a low friction sliding material in between the shaft ( or other counter surface) and housing.
3. To transfer the load from shaft to housing.

Plain bearings are very important parts for almost hinges movement application, rotating equipment and
other sliding/ skidding application. Without plain bearings, the shaft and housing will easily worn off ( even the lubrication/grease is there), the worn off shaft and housing will make bigger clearance and will impact with the operation (not precise movement, noisy sound, etc). Finally it will be very costly on the customer side to repair/change the shaft and the housing. The price to replace a plain bearing is cheaper than replacing the shaft and housing.

RBA(R), provides various plain bearings material and design. We have more than 50 plain bearings materials that is ready to improve your plain bearing performance and suit your needs.We provide the newly design, recommendation and replacement of maintenance-free /self-lubricating plain bearing materials for all applications. Self-lubricating plain bearings have many advantages like:

 1. Maintenance-free properties
     Self-lubricating plain bearings are made of very low friction materials, anti stick material,
      grease/lubrication is not required.

 2. Reduce cost and maintenance time
      With self-lubricating plain bearings material, you do not need any grease (hence reduce the grease cost)
       and eliminate the maintenance time (downtime) and could improve the productivity
 
  3. Cleaner and Greener Environment 
       For many years, there has been may cases of grease and hazardous material are disposed. Self
        lubricating plain bearings helps the environment become greener to reduce/eliminate the grease disposal         and give the benefit of cleaner equipment.
