Composite plastic bearings are often disregarded as a viable choice in the engineering community due to the common misconception that plastic is inferior or weaker than metal. However, the truth is that plastic bearings are strong enough to outperform and outlast their metal counterparts in countless rotary, oscillating and linear applications. This white paper dives deeper into the true reliability of tribologically-optimized plastic materials and details the success of a few plastic bearing applications.
