Avoid reduced press fit due
to anti-corrosion agent

Initial situation

If a bearing position is to operate 100% without lubrication, it may be advisable to treat the bearing mount with an anti-corrosion agent. These agents can reduce the tight fit of the bearing.

Plain bearing with reduced press fit moves out of the bearing point

Test: displacement force with different anti-corrosion agents

The test shows that almost all anti-corrosion agents reduce displacement force. Only TectylTM 300G Clear E enhances press fit.

Result: TectylTM 300G Clear E under the influence of motion and force

Even under the influence of motion and force, TectylTM 300G Clear E can achieve a tighter bearing fit. In the test, it is almost twice as tight as a plain bearing without anti-corrosion agent.
