SELFOIL®: Self-lubricating Sintered Bearings

SELFOIL® is a recognised brand of self-lubricating sintered bearings, manufactured from porous materials such as bronze or iron and impregnated with lubricating oil. This technology provides constant lubrication between the bearing and the shaft, eliminating the need for additional lubrication and considerably reducing maintenance.

Advantages of SELFOIL® bearings

In addition to the wide range of standard bearings, SELFOIL® offers solid bars and hollow bars of self-lubricating sintered material, available in different dimensions. These bars can be supplied in full length for machining by the customer, or machined to drawing, making it possible to produce bushings and special components when the required dimensions do not match the standard references. After machining, the parts can be re-impregnated to maintain their self-lubricating properties.
SELFOIL® has a wide range of more than 1,600 standard references available in permanent stock, guaranteeing immediate delivery.
