The PBC Linear solution
Simplicity® plain bearings were used as an effective alternative to ball bearings. The plain bearing Frelon® liners produce a microscopic transfer of thin film that creates a smooth interaction between the bearing and shaft. This in turn allows for the self-lubricating condition of Frelon riding on Frelon. Simplicity bearing are also engineered to wipe particles from shafts, so no seals were needed. Frequent seizing of the bearing and shaft was eliminated.
Results / ROI
The customer's reaction to this plain bearing solution was very positive. The implementation of Simplicity plain bearings within this harsh environment resulted in the ability to operate their machines without lubrication, add long-term protection to the shafting, and offer long-life within washdown areas. There has been an assurance that they will continue to provide this bottling manufacturer with an improved alternative to ball bearings. The bottom line on bottling: a reduction in overall cost with bearings from PBC Linear.
