Molded-Oil Bearings are lubricated with NSK’s own oil-impregnated material – Molded-Oil – which consists of lubricating oil and polyolefin resin that has an affinity for oil. Lubricant slowly seeping from this material provides ample lubrication to the bearing for extended periods.
Excellent performance in water- and dust contaminated environments
The bearings are designed to prevent liquids such as water (which can wash the lubricating oil out) and dust from getting inside the bearings. Sealed types can be used in environments exposed to water and dust.
Environmentally friendly
Because they can be lubricated with minute quantities of oil that exudes from Molded-Oil, the bearings are able to minimise oil leakage.
Low torque
Packing with Molded-Oil after providing the bearing surface with special treatment realises smooth rotation of rolling elements.
Optimal composition and molding methods enable high-speed operation of Molded-Oil Bearings
Optimisation of composition and molding method of Molded-Oil improves strength and enables high-speed operation of Molded-Oil Bearings.
