akn GLI POM 323640 Sleeve Bearing

Description

The akn GLI POM 323640 is a high-quality, rolled dry sliding bearing designed for maintenance-free operation. Its composite structure, featuring a steel backing and a POM (acetal) sliding surface, provides excellent wear resistance and low friction. The indented sliding surface is designed to retain grease, making it suitable for applications that require initial lubrication or operate with minimal lubrication. This bearing is ideal for both rotating and oscillating movements.

FAQ

Question?
What is the main advantage of the POM material in this bearing?

The POM (Polyoxymethylene) sliding layer provides a low coefficient of friction and high wear resistance. It can operate without lubrication or with minimal lubrication, as the indented surface creates pockets to retain grease, making it a 'maintenance-free' solution for many applications.

Question?
Is this bearing suitable for applications with high-speed rotation?

While excellent for low to medium speeds and high loads, POM bearings are generally not recommended for continuous high-speed applications. The permissible sliding speed depends on the load (PV value). For high-speed applications, a different type of bearing, like a ball bearing, might be more suitable.

Question?
Can this bearing be lubricated with grease or oil for enhanced performance?

Yes. Although designed for dry running, performance can be enhanced with initial grease or oil lubrication, especially in applications with intermittent operation or to prevent corrosion. The lubrication pockets in the POM surface are specifically designed to retain this lubricant.
