Plastic bearings hold several key advantages. They are easy to customize, and more cost-effective than their metal counterparts. They are often self-lubricating and have lower friction co-efficients, making them low-cost and low maintenance. Light weight parts are advantageous in applications such as the aerospace or automotive industries. Being non-magnetic, plastic bearings are perfect for medical devices and industrial settings. As a natural insulator, plastic is great for applications where electrical conductivity is a concern. Plastic bearings resist corrosion and won’t degrade under harsh environmental conditions.
