antifriction pM parts
The antifriction PM parts are used mainly as self-lubricating sliding bearings. The availability of certain amount of graphite and open pores filed with mineral oil in the structure of the parts increase the wear resistance and the loading capacity. This feature of the antifriction PM parts accounts for their very low friction coefficient. The advantages of the antifriction PM parts are minimized consumption of lubricants, quiet operation, and possibility for low and high-speed operation. |
