INDRON® joint bearings of self-lubricating material are suitable for guide-vane bearings and connecting-rod bearings of tubular turbines.
Compared with regular copper-based mosaic graphite bearings, INDRON® guide-vane, connecting-rod and regulating-ring bearings have larger contact area and no lubricating oil is required,. The metal-based cladding can effectively protect shaft necks from wear and tear. INDRON® guide-vane, connecting-rod and regulating-ring bearings can effectively cushion the vibration resulting from opening and closing of a guide vane and avoid cracking upon impacts.
Rigid, tough and wear-resistant, suitable for impulsive and vibrating loads, maintenance-free;
-
Bonding of long-termed lubricative particles, stable lubricating effects, low friction and wear;
-
Effective protection of the shaft neck due to full coverage of the shaft neck;
-
A homogeneous self-lubricating material with reliable performances.
