-
The very low coefficient of friction, when wet, it enables reduction in POWER consumption.
-
Being highly resistant to abrasion, it gives much longer service performance than others.
-
Its large loading capacity brings about higher efficiency of the machine.
-
Water, the cheapest lubricant, can be used on the Bearings thus dispensing with the costly use of lubricating oils and / or greases. If necessary, oil may be used on these Bearings that will surely give still higher efficiency than when the same is used on other bearings.
-
Its ability for water lubrication affords the convenience of using at these parts, where oil-lubricated bearings cannot be used.
-
Being moulded out of plastic, which is an organic material, the surface of bearing does not require costly machining before it is fitted on the Roll Stands.
-
Light weight and easy to handle:
The specific gravity of Phenolic Plastic is 1.36 which is approximately 1/5th of any
nonferrous metal.
-
Peculiar frictional quantity:
As a characteristic common to all organic materials, it has a peculiar frictional behaviour. Easy to slide when wet and
hard to slide when dry. Taking advantage of these contrasting qualities, the material used at once for Bearing and Breaking purposes.
-
High resistance to water, oil and acid.
-
Thermal and Electrical Insulation:
SONY Fibre is an excellent insulator of heat and electricity.
-
Increase durability and efficiency:
Machines using SONY Fibre Bearings have longer services, performance and high production efficiency.
