Solid Lubrication Bearing for Petrochemical Machinery

Solid Lubrication Bearings for Petrochemical Machinery and Chemical Processing Applications


MTWB Solid Lubrication Bearings are engineered specifically for demanding petrochemical applications where conventional lubrication is difficult, impossible, or uneconomical. Designed with embedded solid lubricants and advanced polymer matrix adsorption technology, these self-lubricating bearings deliver reliable performance under high loads, low speeds, extreme temperatures, dusty environments, and heavy industrial operating conditions. MTWB helps petrochemical OEM manufacturers improve equipment reliability while significantly reducing maintenance costs and extending service life through application-specific bearing solutions.

Product Features & Advantages

✓ Lifetime Maintenance-Free Operation
With polymer matrix adsorption saturated lubricant technology, the lubricant seamlessly adheres to the raceway and rolling elements without the need for an external oil supply system.Re-greasing is completely eliminated. The embedded sealing design effectively prevents pollutant invasion, improves water flushing resistance by 80%, and significantly reduces downtime risks caused by lubrication failure.

✓ Extended Service Life
Solid lubricant content is 2–4 times higher than traditional lubricants, extending bearing service life by more than 3 times and significantly reducing the frequency of spare parts replacement.

✓ Superior Contamination Prevention
Solid lubricant remains in close contact with raceways and rollers, nearly filling the entire bearing.The remaining space effectively prevents pollutants from entering the bearing interior, protecting the bearing from contamination-related failures.

✓ Zero Lubricant Leakage
Lubricating oil is stored in micropores inside the polymer based on surface tension. During operation, oil transfers to the material surface via capillary action; when operation stops, oil is reabsorbed into the polymer for "storage," preventing environmental pollution caused by lubricant leakage.

✓ Extreme Environment Performance
Suitable for high ambient temperatures (up to 200°C), high humidity, dust, and chemical corrosion environments.The solid lubrication bearing features an integral bearing seal that further improves oil retention.

✓ Excellent Anti-Rinsing Capability
Solid lubricants support integral seals with very good anti-rinsing ability.

Working Principle

Polymer material is injected into the bearing using a specialized process. The polymer adsorbs saturated lubricating oil, ensuring tight and continuous contact with raceways and rollers while effectively preventing contaminants from entering the bearing interior.Lubricating oil is "stored" in micropores within the polymer based on surface tension. During operation, a small portion of oil slowly moves to the material surface through capillary action; when operation stops, the oil re-adheres to the polymer for "storage".
