Characteristics
Description
The BWG bearing, with or without flange, is manufactured of cast, bronze-based metal with embedded solid lubricant. The base metal tolerates high loads and the solid lubricant provides the option of using these bearings without additional lubrication.
The BWG bearing works well, without additional lubrication, at low speeds and even at extremely high or low temperatures. The lubrication depots are so located that the entire bearing surface is always lubricated. These lubricant depots occupy approx. 25-30% of the bearing surface.
