Boundary Lubrication Bushing- POM Bushing, Lubrication Bushing

Self-lubricating pom bushing

The Boundary Lubrication POM Bushing is a specialized metal-polymer plain bearing designed for operation in conditions where lubrication is minimal. These bearings are engineered to perform optimally even with scarce lubricant, serving as an intermediary solution between fully lubricated and completely dry sliding bearings. “POM” denotes Polyoxymethylene, a thermoplastic renowned for its robust stiffness, minimal friction, superior wear resistance, and consistent shape. The construction of POM bushings features a metallic base for enhanced structural integrity, a sintered bronze layer to foster stronger bonding and evenly distribute load, and a POM surface layer, often pre-treated with lubrication pockets or indentations to boost sliding efficiency and wear resistance.

Offered in a variety of styles, such as cylindrical bushes for radial loads and thrust washers for axial pressures, these bearings are adaptable to numerous load scenarios and applications. Their design flexibility allows for customization through specific dimensions, shapes, and additional elements like lubrication channels, catering to diverse industrial needs.

POM bushings excel in scenarios requiring high performance under boundary lubrication conditions—where the lubricant layer is insufficient to entirely separate the contact surfaces. This capability makes them invaluable in sectors like agriculture, construction, and mechanical engineering, where they find use in gearboxes, pivot joints, and linkage systems, among other essential machinery components.

Incorporating the latest in tribology, the study of friction, wear, and lubrication, POM bushings are crafted to deliver outstanding low-friction and wear-resistant characteristics. They are designed for either dry use or with supplemental lubrication, offering versatility in maintenance and usage. The synergy of metal and polymer in these bearings provides a combination of low-wear operation, high load capacity, and effective heat dissipation, positioning them as an effective solution for diminishing friction and wear in mechanical systems.

In essence, Boundary Lubrication POM Bushings epitomize an advanced category of metal-polymer plain bearings, tailored for limited lubrication scenarios. Their structural and material design ensures a mix of high efficiency, longevity, and adaptability, rendering them ideal for a broad spectrum of industrial applications.
