Better Than Metal

From Polygon Company
 

 

Designers of pneumatics and low-pressure hydraulics often grapple with the dual challenges of reducing friction and weight. For traditional metal cylinders and bushings, these properties can limit design and performance options.

Products & Services
Plain bearings and sleeve bearings (also referred to as bushings or journal bearings) are used to constrain, guide or reduce friction in rotary or linear applications. They function via a sliding action. Search by Specification | Learn more about Plain Bearings and Sleeve Bearings
