Plain Bearings, Bushings & Sleeves

Load, environment, temperature and speed (LETS) all play a critical role in proper lubrication of plain bearings, bushings and sleeves, which leads to longer service life. Understanding the conditions is required to identify the best lubricant to optimize performance and help minimize the differences between static and dynamic friction.

Based on the application operating conditions, the proper lubricant may be a heavily fortified solid-lubricant grease; a low-viscosity oil with rust and oxidation resistance; a paste; or even a wear-resistant anti-friction coating in automotive applications, where they can protect bearing metal in low fluid film lubricant events. 

No matter what conditions you’re operating under, MOLYKOTE^® Specialty Lubricants can meet your requirements and deliver performance you can rely on to protect your equipment and prevent costly breakdowns.
