Maintenance of UNIFLEX slide Bearings

UNIFLEX sets standards in efficiency and cleanliness in hose production with its innovative plain bearing technology. Compared to traditional grease-lubricated tools, our plain bearings achieve a significantly higher efficiency of up to 20 percent. This means less energy is consumed when using a UNIFLEX press.

Thanks to the dry lubrication of the plain bearings, the presses operate entirely grease-free. This means no dirty hands, no grease on clothing, and clean workpieces after crimping. This not only ensures a cleaner working environment but also extends the service life of UNIFLEX machines, as wear is concentrated solely on the plain bearing and not on the tool. As a result, costly repairs are significantly reduced. Dirt also cannot accumulate or stick and can simply be vacuumed up at the end of the workday. Working with an unlubricated machine also provides the possibility of calibrating ovality.

Replacing the plain bearings is straightforward and can be completed in 30–40 minutes. The procedure is shown step-by-step in this video. All you need is a set of replacement plain bearings, which are available from UNIFLEX Service Department. After replacing the wear parts, the machine is technically like new. A condition that cannot be achieved with lubricated presses.

With UNIFLEX technology, you benefit from a low-maintenance, clean, and cost-efficient solution. The low cost per crimp makes our plain bearings the most economical choice for your hose crimper.
