Freddie Gerda, Germany, November 16, 2017 ... Federal-Mogul's Federal-Mogul Systems subsidiary Federal-Mogul's Federal-Mogul Systems division of Federal-Mogul has supplied DEVA Bearings to the global shipbuilding industry to reduce the environmental impact of propeller lubricants in the upcoming December 5, 2017 DEVA Powertrain Powertrain will be exhibiting a series of bearing technologies for ships at the China International Maritime Fair to be held at the Pudong New International Convention Center from the 8th to the 8th. The company's booth is located at Hall N2, Stand K51.
Today's most efficient propellers use adjustable pitch blades that move relative to the hub and achieve energy-saving and emission reduction by continuously optimizing blade angles. In areas where regulations restrict lubricant use, propeller mounting points require low-wear bearings Surfaces. The Federal-Mogul powertrain deva.bm® self-lubricating bearing materials provide a long-term solution that is eco-friendly and reliable, reducing downtime and extending overhaul intervals.

'Federal-Mogul Powertrain has been working closely with its customers to reduce environmental impact and improve customer product performance,' said Gian Maria Olivetti, chief technology officer, Federal-Mogul Powertrain Powertrain, 'with adjustable pitch propellers CPP) deva.bm self-lubricating bearing materials, our customers can achieve the most efficient propeller design to reduce the CO2 emissions, while avoiding the pollution caused by the oil leak. "
Marine General Permits (VGP) 2013 Environmental regulations limit the use of lubricants where seawater can be accessed. Although less biodegradable oil is tightly controlled, it is not a viable solution for all adjustable pitch propeller applications. bm is a self-lubricating composite bearing material made of a seawater-resistant stainless steel base plate and deva.metal® sliding layer with a special sintering process. Since the bearings can operate both in a dry state and with water as a lubricant, Because of its high static and dynamic load carrying capacity, it is ideal for use on adjustable pitch propellers and is used by many of the industry's leading companies in Europe and uses this material.

'deva.bm technology is suitable for swiveling, oscillating and straight lines - even fretting,' explained Hubert Hilp, Dept. of Marine and Marine Applications at DEVA Powertrain, 'Because this technology eliminates the need for lubricants and therefore is maintenance-free. Moreover, this technique increases efficiency and reduces the possibility of viscous slippage with lower or similar static and dynamic friction coefficients. "
