The main uses of engineering plastic pepper ball bearings on ships are structural parts and transmission parts, which have outstanding properties such as high wear resistance, corrosion resistance, self-lubrication, maintenance-free, low water absorption, chemical resistance, low friction coefficient and so on, and are firm and reliable. Compared with traditional metal bearings, engineering plastic pepper ball bearings also have the advantages of light weight, low noise, long life and low cost, and can operate normally in harsh environments.
Stern bearing: The stern bearing of a ship used to be mainly made of wood, hard rubber or metal, which has complicated manufacturing process, long time period and high cost, and needs regular maintenance in the later period. The wood and hard rubber are lubricated with water, and the metal material is lubricated with oil. The use of engineering plastic stern bearing has the advantages of simple manufacturing process, low cost, long service life and no need of lubrication, which effectively makes up for the shortcomings of traditional technology.
Auxiliary machine bearing: Marine auxiliary machine bearing, which used to be made of copper alloy, has a large amount of usage, complicated manufacturing process, difficult installation, and easy seizure or journal wear during use, but copper material is a non-renewable resource. The use of engineering plastic auxiliary engine bearings has the advantages of low noise, wear resistance, self-lubrication and corrosion resistance, and can save a lot of non-ferrous metals, simplify the manufacturing process, prolong the service life and improve the efficiency.
