From the asphalt road to the dirt track, from extremely low to very high temperatures, and, on top of that, load changes, wet conditions, dirt: shock absorber systems must prove themselves to be absolutely reliable under extremely various conditions.

In order not to affect the damping characteristics, the friction values of the plain bearings have to be continuously low over the entire lifecycle. The plain bearings also have to be wear resistant, insensitive to edge loads and resistant to flow erosion.

 
Why Permaglide^® P180 bearings are ideally suited for bearings in shock absorbers can be found in our example application (ePaper FL 1631) and here on our website.
