The Polygon MRP™ Bearing is a highly versatile composite bearing for applications that require high load capacity, low frictional values, along with minimal wear characteristics. These bearings excel in highly loaded bearing joints where a long lifespan and low maintenance is important. A few example applications include agricultural equipment such as foraging and harvesting machinery, material handling equipment, earth-moving equipment, construction vehicles, airport ground transport equipment and more. Plus, MRP bearings have extremely low water absorption rates and are well designed for wet and submerged applications. Polygon most popular bearing choice, the MRP Bearing has a unique, embedded material that adds lubrication to decrease the initial Coefficient of friction. Upon initial actuation, it addresses issues of intermittent stick-slip or noise generated in certain lightly loaded joints. Designed to minimize bearing wear, the MRP Bearing decreases friction and virtually eliminates the typical break-in period. With intermittent rotation or oscillation, radial wear on the MRP Bearing is negligible over thousands of hours of run-time.
