Toni - Plain Bearing Systems
Plain bearing systems for use in abrasive media. TONI® plain bearing systems offer an innovative and economical alternative to conventional bearings for use in abrasive media. The concept at the heart of the TONI plain bearing is simple yet ingenious. Unlike a conventional bearing where a rotating journal engages in a bushing outside the bearing housing, with TONI® a journal is mounted directly on the housing wall and is enclosed by the rotating bushing.

The benefits are clear:
- Less contamination as the load is taken on the upper surface of the journal.
- Maintenance-free - no more need for constant lubrication with the grease gun.
- Far less contact pressure, as a face that matches the bearing bushing soon forms in operation, unlike point and line pressure in conventional bearings.
- Extremely high durability (e.g. 8 years continuous operation in a sand classifier).
- Easy to assemble thanks to relatively large plain bearing clearance. Thermal distortion can be disregarded when welding the spirals.
- Bearing bushing can be used both in the spiral tube or as a flange-mounted bushing.
