| 1. |
The very low coefficient of friction, when wet, it enables reduction in power consumption up to 50% to 70%. |
|
|
| 2. |
The resistance to wear of this Fabric Bearings is greater than that of Bronze or White Metal (Non Ferrous), which provides longer service. |
|
|
| 3. |
Its large loading capacity brings about higher efficiency of the machine. |
|
|
| 4. |
Water, the cheapest lubricant, can be used on the Bearings thus dispensing with the costly use of lubricating oils and/or greases. If necessary, oil may be used on these Bearings that will surely give still higher efficiency than when the same is used on other bearings. Hence Lubrication cost is cut down. |
|
|
| 5. |
Its ability for water lubrication affords the convenience of using at these parts, where oil lubricated bearings
cannot be use. |
|
|
| 6. |
Being moulded out of Phenolic Fabric as per customer requirement, the surface of bearing does not require costly machining before it is fitted on the Roll stands. |
|
|
| 7. |
Light weight and easy to handle.
The specific gravity of Phenolic Fabric is 1.36 which is
approximately. 1/5th of any non ferrous metals. |
|
|
| 8. |
High resistance to water, oil and acid. |
|
|
| 9. |
Thermal and Electrical
Insulation: "LAMTUF" Fabric is an excellent insulator of heat and
electricity. |
|
|
| 10. |
Increased durability and efficiency:
Machines using "LAMTUF" Fiber Bearings have longer servicesperformance and high performance and high production efficiency. |
|
|
| 11. |
These Fabric Bearings does not harm roll necks in comparison to Non -Ferrous Metal bearing, because material used here is Phenolic Impregnated Cotton Fabric which Provides lower coefficient of friction there by increasing the roll neck life. |
|
|
|
| Coefficient of friction - Comparison. |
| Bronze Bearing (Non - Ferrous) - 0.06 - 0.11 |
| Phenolic Fiber Bearing - 0.004 - 0.006. |
