P180 in use: Application Locking mechanism parts on semitrailers
The fifth-wheel coupling is subjected to impacts, vibrations, dirt and moisture during travel. For the bearing in the fifthwheel coupling, plain bearings must be robust and highly stressable and work smoothly even if the fifth-wheel coupling is not used frequently.
Advantages of Permaglide® P180 plain bearings and further information on the application can be found in our application example FL 1634 (ePaper) and here on our website.
