As global imports and exports increase, efficiency is a challenge that drives the need for improved operational quality, productivity and safety. Excellence is the goal of VIIPLUS, with its cost-effective, automatically lubricated bearing. Naval architecture and ocean engineering, Offshore Industry Bushes – High Wear Resistance, Bearings for Boat Lift, bushings and linear plain bearings are perfectly suited for applications in the marine industry. Self Lubrication-free sliding plain bearings for boat cranes.

1. Solid lubricant, according to the direction of movement, regular embedded arrangement, released to the bearing surface during operation to form a solid lubricating film, play a role in reducing the friction factor to improve wear resistance.
2. High-strength copper alloy, which provides the bearing substrate bearing performance and is also a better anti-wear and wear reduction material.
3. Steel substrate, which reduces the material cost and improves the load-bearing performance.

Application Features：The steel-based high-strength copper alloy achieves metallurgical bonding to ensure its mechanical load-bearing capacity and also reduces its material cost, while the lubricant can provide a constant source of lubrication to the bearing surface to form a better frictional substrate. It is suitable for medium to high loads, frequent start-ups where oiling is not possible or where it is difficult to form an oil film.

The working environment for engineering ships is often harsh and complex, necessitating high-performance materials for hulls and deck machinery, particularly in terms of corrosion resistance, anti-fouling, anti-slip properties, and weight reduction. Additionally, marine electromechanical equipment, such as main and auxiliary engines, operates under extreme temperature and pressure for extended periods, which imposes stringent requirements for the rigidity, strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity of their components. Traditional bearings frequently fail in these challenging conditions, leading to costly, inconvenient, and prolonged maintenance that disrupts operational efficiency.

In response to these challenges, our engineers are dedicated to continuous improvement and innovation. They analyze technical requirements and performance to develop self-lubricating bearings tailored for engineering vessels, which can endure high loads and demanding environments. These advancements aim to enhance mechanical performance, extend maintenance intervals, and improve the economic efficiency and operational periods of engineering ships.

Wind farms demand only the highest quality lubricated bearings. Effective and consistent lubrication is crucial to prevent wind turbines from entering safety mode, which can be costly. Our self-lubricating bearings fulfill these stringent requirements and come equipped with all necessary components for efficient turbine lubrication. In wind turbines, bushings must be automatically lubricated. Our self-lubricating bearings, along with safety support and fluid control systems, enhance efficiency and improve safety.

Applications include self-lubricating bearings that reduce maintenance needs with dry running capability. Inquire today for self-lubricating bearing solutions.

We specialize in self-lubricating bearings and lubrication bushing services designed for challenging agricultural conditions. Our CAD bushing design ensures accurate sizing at all times.

Self-lubricating bearings are essential in agriculture, where equipment is often used seasonally without adequate lubrication time, leading to significant wear. As these bearings frequently operate near or in the soil, they are prone to contamination from sand and dirt. Our self-lubricating bearings function during operation, extending their lifespan. By using appropriate solid lubricants, such as graphite inlay, PTFE, or POM, our plain bearings effectively keep contaminants out. This technology reduces downtime and associated costs, offering considerable advantages for users of VIIPLUS self-lubricating bearings. Beyond Bearings: How to Prevent Bearing Failures in Agricultural Machinery, Lubrication Bushings & Sleeve Bearings for Farm Equipment: Agricultural machinery is essential for improving productivity, but farm equipment often faces extreme conditions, leading to high failure rates. In 2020, domestic tractor failure rates reached 130%, while harvesters exceeded 300%, and some parts even hit 1500%. Proper bearing selection and maintenance are critical to reduce downtime and extend service life. Common Causes of Bearing Failure in Farm Machinery/ Insufficient Maintenance – Bearings naturally wear over time. Heavy loads in agricultural machines accelerate this process. Regular maintenance is crucial, but some linkage mechanisms are hard to access. Choosing wear-resistant, self-lubricating bearings helps minimize downtime.
