FAQ

What is the main advantage of a POM sliding layer on these bearings?

The Polyoxymethylene (POM) layer provides a very low coefficient of friction and excellent wear resistance. It allows the bearing to operate without any external lubrication, making it ideal for maintenance-free applications and environments where contamination from oil or grease must be avoided.

Can these bearings handle axial loads in addition to radial loads?

These cylindrical bushings are primarily designed to support radial loads. While they can withstand minor, intermittent axial loads, they are not intended for significant thrust applications. For combined radial and axial loads, a flanged bushing or a separate thrust washer should be considered.

Is any lubrication required upon installation of these self-lubricating bearings?

While the GLI POM bearings are designed for dry operation, applying a small amount of grease upon installation can be beneficial. This initial lubrication can help reduce friction during the initial run-in period and protect against corrosion on the mating shaft.
