Automotive Applications Filled Bearings

6" forging machine

BEARING TYPE:

Slides utilizing MicroPoly plugs

CONDITIONS:

Lubrication holes and grooves would clog, causing inadequate lubrication of the slide surfaces. This lead to premature and heavy wear resulting in quality problems and excessive downtime. The machines needed to be rebuilt every 9 months.

RESULTS:

The incorporation of the MicroPoly plugs provided sufficient lubrication to reduce the wear condition, increasing the interval for machine rebuild to 28 months.
