     n LuBo #500 Series Self-lubricating Bearings
         can be utilized where heavy loads must be
         supported at low to medium speeds.

     n Bearings have high mechanical strength with
         excellent wear resistance and self-lubrication
         properties exhibiting stable performance and
         durability under severe operating conditions.

     n No form of supplementary lubrications required.
         A film of solid lubricant is transferred to the shaft
         as it starts to run. In operation, both surfaces
         burnish quickly and result in a highly polished
         bearing surface capable of withstanding
         extreme pressure.

Normally, bronze alloy is used as the base material for LuBo #500 series bearings by centrifugal or sand
casting. Other materials such as cast iron, stainless steel and even tool steels could be used according to
the applications involving extreme temperatures, environments corrosive to bronze, and loads exceeding
the compressive strength of bronze.

Solid Lubricants
A bearing and its mating surface should always be separated by a film of lubricant. LuBo produces
proprietary solid lubricant compounds consisting of graphite, PTFE, metallic oxides, white metals,
waxes, and other minerals that are compressed and heat treated into dense plugs. These plugs are
then installed into the base metal.

Lubricants used in LuBo products are solid, permanent, and completely self-lubricating, They are
constantly tested and monitored in our laboratories to ensure superior bearing performance.

LuBo produces different solid lubricants for both high temperature (greater than 300°F) and aquatic
application. Please contact LuBo's application engineers for assistance with these special operating
conditions.

Graphite plugged, self-lubricating bearings are LuBo's specialty. Our proprietary solid lubricant is a
cured, compact cylinder inserted into holes machined through the bearing wall. This provides
higher quality and superior performance than the uncured lubricant mechanically forced into
grooves on the bearing surface.
LuBo is customer driven, and committed to quality, competitive
pricing, and JIT delivery.
