Sliding bearings have several significant advantages that make them widely used in various industrial applications. The following are the main advantages of plain bearings:

1. Strong load-bearing capacity: Sliding bearings can withstand large loads, especially under heavy load and impact load conditions, and perform well. Its design allows the bearings to operate under high loads without rapid wear or failure.

2. Smooth and reliable operation: The working process of the sliding bearing is smooth and the vibration and noise generated are small. This smoothness helps maintain stable operation of the equipment and improves the overall performance and reliability of the equipment.

3. Low friction coefficient: Under appropriate lubrication conditions, the friction coefficient of sliding bearings can remain relatively low. This helps reduce energy losses and improve the efficiency of the equipment.

4. Impact and vibration resistance: Sliding bearings have a certain tolerance to impact and vibration. In environments with shock or vibration, sliding bearings can maintain good working performance and reduce damage caused by vibration.

5. Simple structure and easy maintenance: The structure of the sliding bearing is relatively simple, and the manufacturing and installation process is relatively convenient. In addition, the maintenance of sliding bearings is relatively easy, and only requires regular inspection and replacement of lubricating oil or grease to ensure normal operation.

6. Strong adaptability: Sliding bearings are suitable for a variety of working conditions and environments, including high speed, high temperature, high pressure, corrosive and other harsh conditions. In addition, sliding bearings can be custom designed according to specific needs to meet the needs of different equipment and applications.

It should be noted that although sliding bearings have the above advantages, they still need to be selected and designed according to specific working conditions and needs in actual applications. At the same time, reasonable lubrication and maintenance are crucial to ensure the normal operation and extended service life of sliding bearings.
