Molded Oil™ bearings are uniquely designed to prevent the ingress of contamination from detrimentally impacting bearing performance, while providing a continuous and clean source of lubrication to the bearing. Oil impregnated polyolefin resin serves as a barrier to water and dust and slowly releases ample lubrication to the bearing with minimal risk of oil leakage for an extended maintenance-free service life and reduced operating costs.

Molded Oil™ Bearings

Design Features

  • Bearings lubricated with oil-impregnated material consisting of lubricating oil and polyolefin resin
  • Oil slowly seeping from this material provides ample lubrication to the bearing for extended periods
  • Solid lubricant acts as a barrier to water and dust ingress
  • Low torque is achieved for smooth rotation of rolling elements
  • Compositions available for both general applications and high-speed applications
  • Available for spherical roller bearings, deep groove ball bearings, and tapered roller bearings

Operating Benefits

  • Extended bearing performance with continuous supply of clean lubricant
  • Eliminates the need for relubrication, reducing maintenance costs
  • Eliminates risk of grease leakage, promoting clean operating environments
  • More than twice the operating life of grease-lubricated bearings in water or dust-contaminated environments
  • Ideal solution for remote or restricted access areas

Fields of Application including

  • Agricultural machinery
  • Concrete and cement
  • Conveyors and material handling
  • Food and beverage processing equipment
  • Mining and construction machinery
  • Paper making machinery
  • Semiconductor manufacturing equipment
  • Steel making machinery
