Maintenance-Free, Low Stick-Slip ELGOGLIDE^® Plain Bearings for Industrial Applications

In the following article, a new development from the Schaeffler Group Industrial will be presented in the ELGES maintenance-free plain bearing sector (brand name: ELGOGLIDE^®). The bearings feature very smooth operation (low stick-slip) even in very unfavorable conditions. The friction coefficient is low and is only marginally dependent on the running velocity and the temperature. At the same time, the bearings feature a very high load carrying capacity and a long life. Application examples will be discussed and explained.
