Shaft Bearing Components

By opting for a product with a long service life, greater stability and lower replacement costs are guaranteed for the operation of the pump, motor or any other system that uses bearing systems. Our solution is similar to ceramic bearing shafts in terms of durability, which can reach up to 10 years of service life compared to a bearing shaft made of stainless steel. Although, our bearing shafts does not have the risk of breakage or cracking due to fragility of a ceramic material.

Our solution has a very low coefficient of friction (number shown is for dry conditions) and a higher level of thermal conductivity. Due to the low coefficient of friction in a dry environment, it has the ability to withstand longer in emergency dry conditions compared to alternative materials. This provides more security in the event of a dry failure in the system. Furthermore, it has greater capacity to support load, due to its thermal conduction capacity, making its bearing system highly efficient.

The low need for maintenance becomes important to reduce the costs of specialized labor to correct possible failures, in addition to not having to interrupt frequently the operation in order to repair. At Sintex, we work with the “install and forget” concept meaning that after installation, our customers have no worries about our products. With a high level of wear and impact resistance, our solution stands out from the rest with an incredible ability to be maintenance-free. 

The initial cost is given by the selling price, although it does not exactly mean to be the cheapest product for the customer in the end. Cheaper alternatives often means a low useful life and high need for repairs, hence higher costs in the long term. To deliver all the differentials of the product we work with, our initial cost is reasonably higher than stainless steel solutions, but lower than ceramic ones. However, due to the high durability of this product, with an average of twice the useful life, this cost is easily paid over time and ultimately becomes the cheapest solution.

In a market that is highly price-oriented, having extra capabilities becomes a differentiator to be able to attract customers who are not only looking for price. We work with the best in terms of stainless steel shafts and hard metal shafts market solutions. Although, mitigating their disadvantages by being a mix between the two and having the “install and forget” concept to provide greater security, this results in us being able to provide practicality and lower costs to our partners.
