Self-Lubricating Bearings & bushings
Metafram
Our specialized brand.
Metafram bearings and bushings are inherently self-lubricating. They can be used over a wide range of speeds and loads, and have a long service life. The self-lubricating feature reduces maintenance costs and extends product life.
BP25 Bronze : Performance and corrosion resistance
Metafram’s BP25 bronze bushings are designed to offer exceptional corrosion resistance, making them ideal for high-speed applications. Their low coefficient of friction ensures optimal performance and increased durability. They are particularly suitable for demanding environments where reliability and longevity are essential.
Ferrous Alloy FP20 : Robustness and Adaptability
SO16 ferrous alloy bushings are specifically designed for medium to low-speed applications where very high loads are a reality. Their unique composition allows them to withstand extreme stresses while maintaining high performance. These bushings are ideal for the most demanding industrial environments, ensuring exceptional reliability and durability.
Ferrous Alloy SO16 : designed for very heavy loads
SO16 ferrous alloy bushings are specifically designed for medium to low-speed applications where very high loads are a reality. Their unique composition allows them to withstand extreme stresses while maintaining high performance. These bushings are ideal for the most demanding industrial environments, ensuring exceptional reliability and durability.

How does Metafram
Self-lubricating bearings and bushings work.
Stationary position
Presence of an oil meniscus at the point of contact through the action of capillary forces.
Rotation shaft
The oil is driven by the rotation of the shaft and forms an oil wedge that produces the pressure necessary to lift the shaft.
After operation
The oil is reabsorbed by the porous bearing, under action of capillarity.
Self-lubricating
Friction plates.
We also provides self-lubricating friction plates with our brand Metagliss. Self-lubricating friction plates offer an innovative solution for reducing wear and extending the lifetime of mechanical systems. Designed with a unique microporous structure that gradually releases oil, these plates eliminate the need for external lubricants and help optimize equipment performance across a wide range of industries, from general mechanics to aerospace.
