We use our engineering Plain Bearing knowledge to make the world stronger, Plain bearing design and lubrication
Self-lubricated sliding bearings are designed to deliver a microscopic layer of lubrication film to the contacting surface, enhancing machine performance and reducing friction over their operational lifespan. They achieve this without the need for additional grease or oils, offering a clean, maintenance-free solution even in the toughest conditions.
Tribology explores the phenomena of wear, friction, and lubrication, studying the behavior of interacting surfaces and tribo-elements in motion within both natural and artificial systems. This field is crucial for understanding bearing design and lubrication.
Viiplus aims to equip working engineers, regardless of their familiarity with viiplus’s surface-engineered solutions, with the essential knowledge to apply fundamental tribological principles in the design, production, and operation of industrial machinery.
