Dri-Plane Bearings
Dri-Plane Bearings
Dri-Plane bearings are self-lubricating powdered metal bearing that unlike oil impregnated bearings,use a dry lubricant. The dry lubricant gives these bearings a higher operating temperature than the oil impregnated counterparts. As well as lacking the possible contamination that can be associated with the oil imprengated parts. These bearings are used in applications such as food processes, paper manufacturing, and oven applications. Many user of dri-plane have sucessfully converted from plastic bearings to dri-plane and as a result have reduced maintenance costs and improved bearing life drastically.
Depending on your specific application, dri-plane bearings can be used as a replacement for the more expensive graphite plugged product. This works well for applications with higher heat and lower loads. The dri-plane is similar to the graphite plugged product line in the way that it is self lubrication and can operate in higher temperature enviroments.
Additional capabilities include secondary operations such as grooving, milling, and broaching. Send us a drawing or sample. Generally, we'll have a price back to you within 24 hours.
