Self-lubricating glass fiber plain bearing
POLYGON

PolyLube Glass Tape Bearings can be used for guide rod bearings to linear motion components to hydraulic pumps. Swashblock mounted bearings are ideal as long as application considerations are consistent with a mixed film condition. Glass Tape Bearings offers a more elastic, damage tolerant structure when compared to traditional metallic bearing materials. In addition, they exhibit good cavitation resistance when subjected to high pressure fluids during cyclic conditions.

POLYLUBE®'s Glass Tape bearing is a moderate RPM bearing designed for applications with higher surface velocities or when mixed film conditions are desired. Stick-slip, commonly referred to as sticktion, is a phenomena many OEM's experience when designing with self-lubricated bearings. This condition can be alleviated through the use of POLYLUBE® Glass Tape series bearings.
