The work of four point contact ball slewing bearing is sliding friction; The rolling friction is mainly depends on the size of the manufacturing accuracy; And the size of the sliding bearing friction is mainly depends on the slip plane of the bearing material. Sliding bearing generally face all have self-lubricating function; Sliding bearing according to the material divided into sliding bearing and sliding bearing metal, not of metal.
Non-metallic offshore crane bearing mainly plastic bearings, plastic bearings are generally USES the engineering plastic with good performance comparison; More professional manufacturers generally have self-lubricating engineering plastics modification technology, through the fibers, special lubricants, glass beads and so on to self-lubrication engineering plastics modification to enhance performance, and then use modified plastics by injection molding processing into self-lubricating plastic bearings.
Metal sliding bearing is currently the most used three layer composite bearings, the bearings are generally based on carbon steel substrate, through sintering technology in steel plate on a layer of spherical copper powder sintered first, and then sintering layer on copper powder layer is about 0.03 mm PTFE lubricant; One intermediate layer spherical copper powder main effect is to enhance the bonding strength between the steel plate with PTFE, at work, of course, also have certain bearing and lubrication effect.
