In industrial applications, bearings play a crucial role in reducing friction and ensuring smooth operation. Among various bearing types, Solid-Lubricating Bearings have gained popularity due to their self-lubricating properties, reducing maintenance needs.

JFB650 Metric Oil Free Self Lubricating Bronze Round Flanged Bearing
Solid-lubricating bearings are designed with embedded lubricants (such as graphite, PTFE, or molybdenum disulfide) within their structure, eliminating the need for external lubrication. Key benefits include:
Maintenance-free operation – No need for frequent oil or grease replenishment.
High load capacity – Suitable for heavy-duty applications.
Corrosion and dust resistance – Ideal for harsh environments.
Extended lifespan – Reduced wear due to embedded lubrication.
Common Applications:
Aerospace components
Food processing machinery
Automotive suspensions
High-temperature industrial equipment
