Sliding support bearings

In pipelines, flue gas ducts, steam boilers, heat exchangers, gas filters, etc., thermodynamic expansion movements can occur due to temperature changes, which can usually cause a considerable “accumulation of forces” in a simple steel/steel support.
Due to a primarily jerky “discharge” of these accumulated forces caused by too high friction values of these sliding partners can lead to considerable impairments of the load-bearing construction and the fixed points. In severe cases, this even leads to deformations of the components, up to material cracks.
For a simple, cost-effective and operationally reliable design solution, the use of ready-to-install sliding support and fixed-point bearings is recommended here.
When used with PTFE-coated sliding plates, the sliding support bearings’ excellent sliding and load-bearing properties effectively counteract the problems mentioned earlier. As the sliding support bearings also prevent the “stick-slip” effect, the respective design can be less complex and, therefore, more cost-effective!
