What are plain bearings and how do they work?

cojinetes de fricción

Plain bearings are mechanical components charged with bearing a load and allowing a sliding or rotational motion between two parts of a machine. Their main purpose is preventing wear of the points of support of the machine, which would take place if the shafts were to roll directly on the structure.

Are you involved in a project but knowing which bearings you need is giving you headaches? Don’t worry! In this post we will tell you about its uses and types. Let’s get to it!
