INDRON® UNIV is used as Guide Vane, connecting-Rod and Regulating Ring Bushings. Compared with regular copper-based mosaic graphite bearings, INDRON® guide-vane, connecting-rod and regulating-ring bearings have larger contact area and no lubricating oil is required,. Themetal-based cladding can effectively protect shaft necks from wear and tear. lNDRON® guide-vane,connecting-rod and regulating-ring bearings can effectively cushion the vibration resulting from opening and closing of a guide vane and avoid cracking upon impacts.

Our laboratory is equipped with advanced material performance testing and analysis instruments, allowing us to strictly control every detail of product design and production, ensuring superior product quality. INDRON® bearings, seals, and gaskets are more durable than ordinary bearing materials under various conditions, including dry friction, water lubrication (clean water or water containing sand and mud), non-lubrication, grease lubrication, and even under impact load conditions.
So, UNIV material stands out for its high strength, low water absorption, moderate hardness, and excellent wear resistance, making it ideal for complex applications with high loads and fluctuating humidity. Particularly, its outstanding tensile and compressive performance makes it well-suited for environments demanding high mechanical strength and long-term stability.
INDRON® UNIV is utilized for Guide Vane, Connecting Rod, and Regulating Ring Bushings. Compared to traditional copper-based mosaic graphite bearings, INDRON® bearings offer a larger contact area and eliminate the need for lubricating oil. The metal-based cladding provides effective protection for shaft necks, reducing wear and tear. Additionally, INDRON® Guide Vane, Connecting Rod, and Regulating Ring Bushings efficiently absorb vibrations caused by the opening and closing of guide vanes, minimizing the risk of cracking under impact.
