SKF POM composite plain bearings are referred to as prelubricated because they require only a trace of lubricant to operate satisfactorily for long periods. The bearing material is designed to operate with marginal lubrication and effectively fills the gap between fully lubricated bearings and dry sliding bearings. SKF POM composite plain bearings are maintenance-free and have very good frictional properties. They have high load carrying capacity and a high sliding velocity. SKF POM composite plain bearings are suitable for applications that require minimal maintenance under difficult operating conditions. As a result of the lubricant retention pockets on the sliding surface, SKF POM composite plain bearings are especially well-suited for applications in contaminated environments where lubricant cannot be supplied continuously or frequently.
