KS PERMAGLIDE® plain bearings: piston pin bed in flood gates and dams
Sector: Power engineering
Products used
The bearings in technical systems in a maritime environment are usually quite a challenge. The harsh operating conditions often place demand on the bearing system's efficiency many times over. A maintenance-free plain bearing with minimal effort required to seal it is best suited in installation locations which are hard to reach. In order to eliminate the risk of water contamination, dry-running or media-onlylubricated bearings are permissible.
Plain bearings it these broad-ranging loads best. Regardless of salt or fresh water, offshore in hydroelectric plants. KS PERMAGLIDE® plain bearings can be used wherever there is need for a reliable and robust bearing.
Although the corrosion resistance of metal-plastic composite bearings must be classified as lower than plastic plain bearings, KS Gleitlager uses two types of material specifically developed for outside use. The materials KS PERMAGLIDE® P11 and KS PERMAGLIDE® P147 feature corrosion resistance figures better than the classic metal-polymer plain bearing materials based on PTFE available from the competition.
