Increased wear of the axles and bushings of the specialty machinery sliding bearings is a rather common issue that construction and road constructing companies face.
The load-lifting and earth-moving machines operate in the dusty environment, are subjected to high contact stresses, and shock loads. The conventional grease are not very effective under such conditions as that can’t provide steadily low friction coefficient, and prevent scuffing appearing on the metal mating surfaces.
It is possible to use polymer and anti-friction materials to protect the axles and bushings but it’s not always reasonable since it increases cost of the bearings manyfold.
The Modengy technical experts have successfully solved the given problem with help of MODENGY 1005 anti-friction solid-film coating. It creates a dry separating layer on the axles and bushings surfaces that prevents their direct contact. This coating can also be used as anti-emergency lubrication.
Experience of MODENGY 1005 real-life application proves its efficiency: after treatment of the specialty machinery sliding bearings there were no scuffing revealed on them, and wear intensity of the units significantly reduced.
