Veneer machine: Plastic plain bearings master extreme loads and high temperatures

Profile

  • What was needed: Slide bearings in the veneer machines, more precisely on the pressure beam bearing for turning and swivelling movements
  • Requirements: Resistance to high temperatures, dirt, dust and pressure
  • Sector: Wood industry
  • Success for the customer: iglidur® plain bearings are less expensive to purchase than conventional bearings, meet the technical requirements of the customer and minimise the service effort, thus guaranteeing a long service life.

Problem

Solution

"The use of the iglidur® G bearing is also the first choice for us in this case due to its corrosion resistance and insensitivity to the abundant wood dust."
