duralubetm self-lubricated spherical plain bearings new from rbc the leader in spherical plain bearing innovation advanced technology rbc s duralubetm self-lubricating spherical plain bearings provide long life in demanding applications grease-free operation is accomplished through the use of a durable ptfe liner system that reduces friction between the spherical surfaces of the inner ring and outer ring this proprietary liner system was developed for rigorous industrial applications and has proven successful time and time again standard duralube sizes available through 3 id applications self-lubricating bearings are being utilized in skid steer tele-handler off-road forklift and wheel loader applications primarily on the cylinders as well as pivot points of such equipment the benefits of using these bearings include improved field reliability and lowered warranty costs duralube has also reduced the cost of ownership by eliminating the need for zerk fittings and costs associated with greasing and maintaining the bearings eliminate grease lubrication ordinary spherical plain bearings require internal grease lubrication to ensure effective operation and long life this grease supply should be replenished at regular intervals relubrication is an added expense and not always reliably performed problems often arise during lubrication including accessibility dirt obscured grease fittings and infrequent preventive maintenance duralube spherical plain bearings do not require grease which eliminates these types of concerns typical duralube application self-lubricated bearings used on hydraulic cylinder rod eyes for tele-handlers rbc division www.rbcbearings.com 800.390.3300
