Thick walled bimetallic sliding bearings
Bimetallic thick-walled bearing brass with sliding layer on basis of copper alloys.
Sliding bearings for the working conditions with the hydrodynamic lubrication, suitable for static and dynamic load.
The sliding material is deposited by the casting on the base steel. It has got a universal structure, it is characterised by good sliding characteristics also under the conditions of boundary friction. Normally it is being used with galvanically spread superficial layer of PbSn. The bearings with the lining BS 3332 are not being galvanised. A journal in sliding bedding does not require superficial friction. For the high loaded sliding bedding, the sliding material CuPb22Sn with higher dynamic load is used. Because of its good sliding characteristics, they are applied as the main crank bearings in combustion engines, as the bearings of tool machines etc.
The dimensions of bearings, which are produced by this method:
- minimum diameter: 20 mm
- maximum diameter: 500 mm
- maximal width: 400 mm

We can deliver complete BEKOMAT electronically level-controlled condensate drains and service kits as well. The BEKOMAT range provides the 12, 13, 14 and 16 standard drains for virtually every application, which are not just the correct solution, rather more also the most suitable low-energy solution. The integrated capacitive sensor for level-controlled condensate discharge helps save energy and enhances efficiency – which is what you would expect from a BEKOMAT.
The regular maintenance was carried out in 2 consecutive years by the team of TUNGS-STAR on an ABC Horizon 1400 compressor at Plastipak Romania SRL in Urlati. The 40 bar PET compressor is powered by a 280 kW motor equipped with VSD. It has 3 stages with 4 horizontally opposed cylinders.
New 15 kW MATTEI compressor was installed next to an old 7.5 kW Mattei compressor to assure the increased production of a local company.
