Self-lube wear plates are designed with a self-lubricating layer that allows for a reduction in friction between the wear plate and other components. This helps to protect against wear and tear, and prolong the life of the machinery and equipment.

A self-lubricating sintered bearing is a metallic component with high porosity (20-25% in volume), impregnated in a lubricant oil. The oil contained in the porosity provides a constant lubrication between bearing and shaft, so the system does not need any additional external lubricant.
