Low friction bearings cylindrical roller bearings LSL and ZSL are single row, self-retaining and correspond to dimension series 23. The bearings have solid outer rings with two ribs, while the inner rings have one rib. The inner ring can be removed and this gives easier fitting of the bearings. Disc cages or spacers prevent the cylindrical rollers coming into contact with each other during rolling.


Are you aware there are different types of bearings? It's true. You'll find most of these types in your car's various systems. See, the word "bearing" usually refers to a component that reduces friction. However, different types of machinery require different types of bearings. One of these bearings is the Low friction bearings. Unlike antifriction bearings, friction bearings don't have sliding nor moving parts. Rather, this type of bearing has a fixed, non-moving surface. It's also typically made up of machined-metal or pressed-in bushing. Now when it comes to your car, this bearing's soft consistency prevents foreign matter from spreading in the engine. 


But how can you secure a spinning shaft? In the early days, up to 14 large metal collars containing 'thrust fag bearings' were placed along the propeller shaft to attach it to the hull. Unfortunately these overheated because of friction between the shaft, the bearing and the collar.


The bearing's advantages of small size, low friction and long life were particularly important for the new turbine powered ships, and the war saw a huge increase in the number of ships using Michell bearings. Since then, they have become the standard bearing used on turbine shafts in ships and power plants everywhere.


The seals form an extremely narrow gap with the cylindrical surface of the inner ring shoulder or recess profile and are practically non-contacting. Because of this, bearings fitted with low-friction seals can be operated at the same high speeds as nachi bearings with Z shields, but with improved seal performance.The low-friction seals are made of oil and wear-resistant acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) with a sheet steel reinforcement. The permissible operating temperature range for these seals is –40 to +100 °C and up to +120 °C for brief periods.


Michell's bearing created wedges of oil inside the spinning bearing to reduce friction between it and the shaft it held in place.
