WICO / WICO63-bearings therefore have their greatest field of application in oscillatory or slow reciprocating motions.Owing to the fact that static and dynamic friction is almost equal a favourable bearing is obtained, where continual changes in load and movement are occurring e.g. in slewing brackets and guides in piston rodsThe thin layers, which constitute the running surface of the bearing, ought to be well protected to avoid mounting damages and also for heat from e.g. welding.
