INDRON® bearings with metal-based coating are an ideal alternative to oil – lubricated metal bearings for guide vanes, whose creative coating design has overcome the restriction of dry – ice installation for polymer bearings and eliminated the obvious clearance changes caused by the water swelling of polymer and thermal expansion.
Best fit clearances are maintained thanks to tiny water swelling and dimensional changes.
Maximum load capacity (25% strain) up to 100Mpa.
Effective protection of the shaft neck and reliable performances due to full coverage of the shaft neck.
Avoids the inconvenience that a typical polymer bearing has to be refrigerated by dry ice during installation.
