Plain Bearing in dirty conditions
Plain Bearing in dirty conditions
(OP)
I have an application that pivots no more than 3°, but has a high exposure to dirt and water. The loading is reasonable and almost entirely radial. However, there is some impact loading.
I would normally use a loose fitting hardened steel bushing and grease daily with a lithium based grease not considering the extreme environment.
Perhaps my corrosion and wear concerns are unnecessary given the minimal amount of pivot.
Is there a better choice than a greased hardened bushing? I'm also trying to keep the cost down.

You did not specify load or size constraints, this is important design information to know.

There is a type of support that is made for oscillating motion I try and find my information or someone may post it
Here is all the information on all types of bearing seals.
This is the home of the Foresheda seal as mentioned by plasgears
