No lubrication at all Lubrication of the bearing is not required. The sliding combination "lives" on the transfer of Teflon abrasion to the sliding partner. The transfer of lubricants to the sliding surfaces during bearing installation and/or lubrication has a negative effect on the tribological system since this prevents the adhesion of the Teflon particles to the counterface. In addition to a reduction in service life by up to 90%, the use of lubricants results in a doubling of friction. The same applies to other liquid media penetrating the bearing. If there is such a risk, the bearing locations should be sealed for tribological reasons. Maintenance-free operation and 100% dry running lead to maximum bearing service life.
