FAQ

What does the ‘BM’ designation in AKN BM 202312 stand for?

The ‘BM’ designation refers to the material composition of the bushing. It typically indicates a metal-polymer composite bearing, consisting of a steel backing, a sintered porous bronze layer, and a top layer of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) for low friction, self-lubricating properties.

Is this bushing suitable for applications with lubrication?

While this is a self-lubricating or ‘dry’ bearing designed for maintenance-free operation, it can also be used with external lubrication. Applying grease or oil can help dissipate heat and further extend the service life in certain high-demand applications.

What are the typical applications for a 20x23x12mm plain bearing like this?

This size of bearing is commonly used in a wide range of industrial and automotive applications. Examples include pivot points in hydraulic cylinders, suspension systems, agricultural machinery joints, conveyor systems, and other rotating or oscillating low-speed, high-load scenarios where minimal maintenance is desired.
