Lubricant retention
Helps reduce lubricant loss compared with freely moving grease in demanding environments.
AOSN Specialty Bearing Series
Solid Oil Bearings
A lubrication-retaining solution for applications where conventional grease can be washed away, leak out or require frequent relubrication.
Concept illustration
Lubrication Principle
Oil Retained Inside a Solid Matrix
A porous polymer-based carrier holds lubricating oil near the rolling contact. During operation, a controlled film of oil is released to support lubrication.
Cleaner operation
Designed for applications where oil leakage and contamination need to be minimized.
Extended service intervals
May reduce routine relubrication requirements when correctly selected for the application.
Application engineered
Material, fill, sealing and bearing type are selected according to load, speed, temperature and environment.
Typical Applications
For Difficult Lubrication Environments
Final suitability must be confirmed against the actual operating conditions.
Food & packaging machinery
Washdown and cleaning lines
Conveying equipment
Paper and steel equipment
Agricultural machinery
Dusty production areas
Selection Support
Information Needed for Engineering Review
Solid-oil solutions must be matched to the operating environment. Send the information below and AOSN will review the bearing arrangement.
