HG 1 – Plain Bearings covers bushings and rod ends with low‑maintenance materials (PTFE, ELGOGLIDE) for oscillating and low‑speed motions under alternating loads. It discusses friction coefficients, wear/corrosion resistance and pairing with shafts/housings under high specific pressures, with selection criteria by load, stroke, temperature and lubrication.
Content overview
- Families, sizes and rating tables for quick selection.
- Tolerances, fits and internal clearance/preload.
- Lubrication, sealing and operating limits.
How to use
- Define loads, speed, temperature and environment.
- Select the suitable family and verify rating life.
- Confirm fits, clearances and lubrication plan.
Best practices
- Never transmit mounting loads through rolling elements.
- Ensure alignment; control preload and sealing integrity.
- Monitor vibration/temperature for predictive maintenance.
