What are SELFOIL® bearings?

SELFOIL® bearings are porous metallic bushes made from bronze or iron, permanently impregnated with a specially formulated oil.

As the bearing operates, heat and pressure draw lubricant from within the material to the shaft surface — then return it when the load eases. The result is continuous, self-regenerating lubrication for the life of the bearing.

No grease points. No maintenance intervals. No failure from lubrication neglect.
