Metric Plain Oilite® Bearings

Materials

Oilite bearings are manufactured in three standard materials. Standard Oilite oil retaining tin bronze is the generally specified material. It gives a good balance between strength, wear resistance, conformability, and durability in operation. Ideal in a wide variety of applications where self-lubricating properties are required over a long period of time.

Super Oilite® is an iron copper material suited to high static loads and slow oscillatory motion.

Iron Oilite® is 100% iron oil-retaining bearings that provide an ideal solution in high-stress low revolution applications.

Oilite® Special Lubricants and Additives

Standard Oilite bearings are impregnated with highly refined mineral oil to ISO VG (SAE 30) having a high viscosity index and containing anti-oxidant, anti-rust, and defoaming additives.

A wide range of lubricants are available to meet specific requirements within a temperature range of -60°C to 200°C, lubricant additives are also available to impart anti-wear properties in marginal lubrication conditions. Special additives are also available for use with various shaft materials and finishes. We are also able to offer special oil to suit customer-specific requirements.

Oilite® Storage

Oilite bearings can be stored for considerable periods without deterioration or loss of oil if kept in a metal or other non-absorbent container, at room temperature. Proximity to heat could cause oil loss by sweating, in which case re-oiling is necessary before fitting. Soak in oil if storage conditions are in doubt. We are able to offer Oilite bearings in sealed plastic bags or boxes.
