Self-lubricating bearings, also known as maintenance-free bearings, provide their own lubrication without requiring repetitive external applications of solid lubricants or oil.There are three types of Self-Lubricating Bearing
A self-lubricating bearing is a type of bearing it contains lubricants embedded within its material structure, allowing it to lubricate itself automatically during motion.
These include self-lubricating bushings and plain bearings made from materials like sintered bronze, copper, aluminum alloys, lead, and sintered iron and copper.

These encompass polymer bearings, such as those made of PTFE, Polyacetal, Polyethylene, resin-based plastics, Teflon compounds, woven fibers (composites), and carbon graphite.

Multi-layered bearings are composite bearings designed with multiple functional layers, each serving a specific purpose to enhance performance, durability, and self-lubrication.
Read MoreNo need for additional lubrication, lowering maintenance time and cost.
Designed to last longer due to lower wear and tear.
Reduced friction and wear leads to increased efficiency and energy savings.
Eliminates the need for oils or greases that may pollute the environment.
Can be custom-designed to meet specific application requirements.
Generally not suitable for high-load applications compared to traditional bearings.
Specialized materials and manufacturing make them more expensive.
Not ideal for high-temperature environments.
May not perform well under high-speed conditions.
May not be available in all materials needed for specific applications.
