The growth of the Europe sliding bearing market is propelled by metallic materials, as they efficiently disperse heat and transmit electricity because of their excellent thermal and electrical conductivity.
Metallic sliding bearings, such as bronze or steel, exhibit exceptional load-bearing capacities, ideal for heavy loads and pressures. They efficiently dissipate heat and conduct electricity due to their superior thermal and electrical conductivity. Their corrosion resistance, seen in alloys like stainless steel, ensures durability in harsh conditions, while their ability to withstand high temperatures suits elevated operational settings.
Non-metallic sliding bearings, made of polymers or composites, possess low friction properties, reducing wear and energy consumption. Materials like PTFE or nylon have inherent self-lubricating traits, minimizing the need for external lubrication. Lightweight and resistant to chemicals, they are used in weight-sensitive aerospace or automotive applications, ensuring durability in corrosive industrial environments.
In November 2023, SpinDrive raised about 3.8 million euros to propel its magnetic levitation bearing into the industrial market. With frictionless magnetic levitation technology, they improved the overall efficiency of industrial processes by eliminating maintenance downtime and reducing energy consumption.
