Features of Self-lubricating Bearings

• They can be used for rotation, reciprocation and linear motions, but cylinder-shaped bushings could only carry radial loads.

• Flanged bushings are could carry radial loads and the axial loads in one direction.

• Lubricating materials can be added inside the bushings through processes such as material porosity and material sintering, realizing achieving self-lubricating.
