Fiber bearings are moulded from plastic
Laminate of select cotton fabric, bonded with
Phenol formaldehyde resin. It has wide
Industrial applications
Special characteristics
1. The very low coefficient of friction, when
Wet, it enables reduction in power
Consumption.
2. Being highly resistant to abrasion, it also
Considerably reduces roll journal wear
3. Its large loading capacity brings about
Higher efficiency of the machine.
4. Water, the cheapest lubricant, can be used
On the bearings thus dispensing with the
Costly use of lubricating oils and / or
Greases.
5. The specific gravity of phenolic plastic is
1.36, which is approximately 1/5th of any
Nonferrous metal.
6. Machines using fibre bearings have longer
Services, performance and high production
Efficiency.
