Plain Bearings (Bushings)

Bushing with Inner Grooves (Spiral Grooves)

This is a product with spiral grooves on the inner diameter of the bushing. There are various applications: Wear Debris Countermeasures:When the shaft and resin bush slide against each other, wear debris is generated and can be expelled through these grooves. Minimal wear debris is produced under light loads, but significant loads invariably generate wear debris. Although these grooves cannot expel all wear debris, they contribute to longer service life compared to bushings without grooves. Foreign Matter Countermeasures:In certain environments, foreign matter may enter the system. If this matter enters the gap between the shaft and the sliding bearing, it can cause damage and rotation failure. The grooves aim to[…..]

Plain Bearings for Liquid Seasoning Filling Machines

Our bearings are used for the roller parts of conveyor chain belts in liquid seasoning filling machines. Metal parts cause rust when liquid seasoning spills onto them and sticks to the chain. This results in the chain and bearings clumping together, and since replacing the bearings alone is difficult, the entire chain had to be replaced. By switching the chain bearings to plastic, we achieved a longer lifespan. Additionally, it is now possible to easily replace only the plastic rollers, leading to significant cost savings.

Spherical Plain Bearing (Plastic Spherical Plain Bearing)

A self-aligning plain bearing that can also be used in places without a core where the core cannot be removed. Plastic Spherical Plain Bearing Spherical Plain Bearing with Stainless Steel Housing Spherical plain bearings are self-aligning bearings, particularly suitable when the shaft is long and easily deformable or when it is difficult to remove the core on the left and right sides. The size can be adjusted to various dimensions depending on the usage situation, allowing them to be used even in tight spaces where mounting a pillow block is difficult. Being made of plastic, there is no concern about rust, even in water or chemical substances. Additionally, they are[…..]

Phenolic Split Plain Bearing (Half-Split Plain Bearing: Two-Piece Bushing: Two-Piece Plain Bearing)

Phenolic Split Plain Bearing (two-piece bushing: two-piece plain bearing) that allows easy replacement of the bearing alone in hard-to-reach areas with long, heavy, or complex shafts. Phenolic Split Plain Bearing Phenolic Split Plain Bearing (also known as Half-Split Plain Bearing, Two-Piece Bushing, Two-Piece Plain Bearing, Split Metal) A plain bearing that is halved in shape. In conventional plain bearings (bushings: plain bearings), the shaft passes through the bearing. When replacing the bearing, especially if the shaft is heavy, long, or part of a complex structure, it is necessary to disassemble everything, remove the shaft, and replace the bearing, which is very labor-intensive. By using a two-piece plain bearing (bushing: plain[…..]

Pillow Block for Use in Water Treatment Plants

Currently in use in a stirring device in a water treatment plant. In an aqueous environment, regular pillow blocks tend to allow water ingress and corrode. To address this issue, we have chosen a housing made of stainless steel, a bushing made of UKB522*, and a sleeve made of stainless steel, which we are currently using. (*For detailed information on the material UKB522, please refer to the list of available products under “Plain Bearings” and “Pillow Blocks.”) Pillow Block for Use in Water Treatment Plants Related Pages ・Plain Bearings (Bushings) ・Pillow Blocks (Bearing Units) ・Water/Seawater ・Cleaning Machines ・Food Back to Case studies
