Plain bearings and guide elements
In liquid handling applications, rolling-element bearings are often avoided because they are located too close to the product and are difficult to seal effectively. In many cases, installation spaces are also limited, making the use of plastic plain bearings the preferred or even the only viable solution.
bock machining offers a wide range of technologies for replacing plain bushings,, flanged bushings,, plain bearings made from brass,, bronze, or Iglidur® materials. These solutions are self-lubricating, maintenance-free, and capable of withstanding high surface pressures of up to 100 N/mm², elevated temperatures of up to 300°C (572°F), and high sliding speeds of up to 20 m/s (65.6 ft/s).
Multifunctional solutions incorporating sealing features, threads, or motion grooves can be manufactured by machining without any tooling costs.
A wide range of high-performance plastics and coating materials is available for applications in the food, pharmaceutical, drinking water, and medical industries.
