FAQ

Question?
What does "POM" stand for and what are its primary benefits in this bearing?

Answer: POM stands for Polyoxymethylene, an engineering thermoplastic. In this bearing, it forms the sliding layer. Its key benefits are a very low coefficient of friction (especially when lubricated), high wear resistance, and good chemical resistance, which allows for maintenance-free operation.

Answer: While excellent for oscillating and slow rotational movements, this type of marginally lubricated bearing has limits on speed and load (PV-value). For continuous high-speed rotation, a ball or roller bearing, or a hydrodynamic plain bearing, might be more suitable. Always check the manufacturer's datasheet for specific PV limits.

Answer: The POM surface has lubrication indents that should be filled with grease upon installation to ensure optimal performance and long life. Although it can run dry, initial lubrication significantly reduces friction and wear during the critical run-in period.
