Slide Bearings

Slide Bearings, within the Bearings subcategory of the Power Transmission category, are designed to facilitate smooth sliding motion between surfaces, providing support while reducing friction and wear. Unlike roller or ball bearings that provide rotational motion, slide bearings offer linear or sliding movements, making them ideal for applications requiring smooth, continuous motion along a plane. These bearings are commonly made from materials that offer low friction and good wear resistance, such as bronze, PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), or composite materials. Slide Bearings are used in a variety of applications, including bridge construction, where they accommodate thermal expansion and structural movements
