A new rubber/UHMWPE alloy for water-lubricated sternbearings

A new polymer alloy has been developed by blending powder of UHMWPE and graphite into nitrile rubber for marine stern tube bearings. It has good self-lubrication performance, which decreases the friction coefficient under low speed conditions and the critical speed at which bearing vibration and noi...
