AKN GLI BM 222530 - Pack of 10 Self-Lubricating Bearings

Description

This is a pack of 10 new, original AKN GLI BM 222530 cylindrical plain bearings. These maintenance-free composite bushings are engineered for high-load, low-speed applications. The structure consists of a steel backing for mechanical strength, a porous sintered bronze layer for heat dissipation, and a PTFE/lead sliding layer for extremely low friction. They are suitable for both rotary and oscillating movements.

FAQ

What does "self-lubricating" mean for these bearings?
The inner layer is made of PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), which has a very low coefficient of friction. During initial operation, a small amount of this material transfers to the mating shaft, creating a solid lubricant film that eliminates the need for external grease or oil.

Can these bearings be used in wet or corrosive environments?
The standard steel backing offers limited corrosion resistance. While the bearing surface is resistant to most chemicals, for applications with constant exposure to water or corrosive agents, a stainless steel-backed version would be recommended for optimal lifespan.

What is the correct procedure for installing these press-fit bushings?
These bushings are designed for a press-fit into a rigid housing with a recommended H7 tolerance. An installation mandrel should be used to apply even force on the outer face of the bearing. Never press on the inner sliding surface, as this can cause damage.
