Composite materials are formed from reinforcements, fibers or fabrics, then impregnated with an organic binder (a resin) known as thermosets (i.e., starting from a fluid initial product, it passes through an irreversible polymerization stage, resulting in a solid finished product that no longer softens under heat, unlike plastic).  <\/strong><strong>This type of resin retains excellent mechanical properties even at temperatures of 100 to 200\u00b0C.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another advantage is lubrication. Bronze, aluminum or steel bushes need to be lubricated with oils or, more often, greases, otherwise they generate friction and wear. <\/p>\n<p><strong>In the case of composite plain bearings, self-lubricating fillers are added to the resin (or fabric). These are micro-particles of solid lubricant which are incorporated into the resin and remain in the bushing once it has been shaped. These additions lower the coefficient of friction to reduce the effort required for joint movement and reduce wear, without the need to add external lubricant during use.   <\/strong><strong>These composite bushings are called \u201cself-lubricating\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n\n\t        <div class=\"ax-textandimg-medias-container\">\n\t            \t                \t                    <div class=\"ax-textandimg-img cover\">\n\t                        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1063\" height=\"709\" src=\"https:\/\/hef.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Bagues-H-Liner-M.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hef.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Bagues-H-Liner-M.jpg 1063w, https:\/\/hef.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Bagues-H-Liner-M-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hef.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Bagues-H-Liner-M-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hef.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Bagues-H-Liner-M-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1063px) 100vw, 1063px\" \/>\t                    <\/div>\n\t                                    \t            \n\t\t        \t        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"axblock-textandimg blue-bg\">\n    <div class=\"ax-textandimg\">\n        <div class=\"container ax-textandimg-container content-right \">\n            <div class=\"ax-textandimg-content\" style=\"--numberColumns: 2\">\n                                    <h2 class=\"ax-title3\">Numerous advantages<\/h2>\n                                                    <div class=\"text-content\">\n                        <p><strong>The first advantage of using composite elements is economic.<\/strong> <strong>Self-lubricating composite plain bearings eliminate the need to add grease and other oils to reduce wear. This reduction in operating costs comes on top of lower manufacturing and purchasing costs. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Indeed, conventional bronze solutions require large quantities of copper, an essential element in these alloys. Yet the price of copper has been rising steadily in recent years. Between 2022 and 2024, its price has doubled. The reason: strong demand in the energy transition sector, where internal combustion engines will gradually be replaced by electric motors containing 4 times more copper than internal combustion engines. Not to mention the renewable energies industry, which is also very copper-intensive (for offshore wind turbines, for example, which require the production of very long maritime cables to bring the electricity to the grid)    <\/p>\n<p><strong>Self-lubricating composite bushings have an even lower coefficient of friction than greased copper alloy plain bearings. As a result, these assemblies require less energy to move the bushing around the shaft, resulting in lower CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another advantage of HEF solutions, developed over more than 20 years, is the increased service life of parts compared to bronze solutions.<strong> This increase is quantified and certified by bench tests, but also validated on the field by our numerous customers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The use of composite materials enables a substantial weight reduction compared with metal components<\/strong> (their density is 5.5 times lower than copper alloy solutions). For example, a large plain bearing (200 mm inner diameter, 250 mm outer diameter and 200 mm length) made of copper alloy weighs 31 kg. This weight is reduced to 5.5 kg for composites, which also makes handling easier, faster and less costly.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Finally, HEF solutions, with or without fiberglass reinforcement, can withstand very high loads (up to 140 MPa, compared with 60 MPa for copper alloy parts). This allows for downsizing the joints and thus decreasing the cost even further.<\/strong><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n\n\t        <div class=\"ax-textandimg-medias-container\">\n\t            \t                \t                    <div class=\"ax-textandimg-img cover\">\n\t                        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1063\" height=\"709\" src=\"https:\/\/hef.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Bagues-composites.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hef.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Bagues-composites.jpg 1063w, https:\/\/hef.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Bagues-composites-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hef.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Bagues-composites-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hef.group\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Bagues-composites-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1063px) 100vw, 1063px\" \/>\t                    <\/div>\n\t                                    \t            \n\t\t        \t        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<p><\/p>\n<section class=\"axblock-textandimg white-bg\">\n    <div class=\"ax-textandimg\">\n        <div class=\"container ax-textandimg-container content-left \">\n            <div class=\"ax-textandimg-content\" style=\"--numberColumns: 2\">\n                                    <h2 class=\"ax-title3\">And the antagonist?<\/h2>\n                                                    <div class=\"text-content\">\n                        <p><strong>Eliminating lubrication means protecting the counterpart from corrosion (the shaft in the case of a shaft-bearing joint). <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>HEF Group solutions, whether treatments (ARCOR<sup>TM<\/sup>&#8230;) or components (PEL<sup>TM<\/sup> OX axis), are particularly suitable for parts rubbing against self-lubricating solutions.
