Our plastic thrust bearings were used in a waterbed with a massage function. The waterbed is rotated by the force of the water jet, creating a spiral water flow that is used for the massage. The bearings are used in the nozzles.
Since it is used exclusively underwater, this environment is very suitable for plastic bearings. Water acts as a substitute for lubricant and helps dissipate the heat generated by rotation. Therefore, a longer lifespan can be expected compared to use in dry environments.
