In harsh seawater and hydraulic environments, standard self-lubricating materials often fail to deliver long-term performance. These demanding conditions involve constant water contact, high pressure, and potential corrosion, which require **specialized water-lubricated solid lubricant systems** that can perform reliably even under full submersion or continuous water exposure.
In the video, you can see the white solid lubricant particles, which combine PTFE and MoS₂ in a specially formulated system. This unique composition ensures stable, consistent lubrication performance even in water-based conditions, where conventional oil or grease lubrication would quickly wash away or break down.
A customer from Northern Europe recently tested multiple bearing solutions for a critical hydraulic project, including:
High-strength steel bearings with protective sprayed coatings
Bimetal stainless steel bearings
Our self-lubricating bronze bushings with a water-lubricated graphite system
After rigorous comparative testing, our solution clearly outperformed alternatives and successfully satisfied all the customer's key requirements:
High load capacity under heavy working conditions
Stable and reliable lubrication in water and seawater environments
Excellent corrosion resistance in harsh marine and hydraulic media
Extended service life and reduced maintenance costs
The customer was highly satisfied with the overall performance and durability of our bearings. We are proud that our specialized self-lubricating bronze bushings continue to operate reliably in some of the most demanding water engineering and hydraulic applications worldwide.
