  Coatings make more efficient use of bearing materials and eliminate secondary machining and installation. Dry, unlubricated insert bearings excel in jobs where it’s tough to maintain oil and grease lubrication. Applications for insert bearings include sliding and rotating rods in shock absorbers, air cylinders, gas springs, solenoids, valve shuttles, […]

They are good enough for NASCAR engines. Bonded bearing surfaces are coatings made from high-performance polymers reinforced with hard nanosized particles. Most engineers would jump at the chance to replace bearing inserts with dry lubricants. In many cases, of course, this just hasn’t been practical. PTFE and moly-filled coatings might […]
