Some types of large ship engines require large size bearings which are highly reliable, durable, and superior in heavy load capacity. Daido Metal is one of very few manufacturers in the world that manufactures extra-large-size bearings for low-speed 2-stroke diesel engines with a range of diameters over 1,000 mm.

This product is an environmentally friendly "Lead free bearing." This compound bearing, a "perfect oilless bearing" that does not require any lubricant at all uses polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin, has excellent low friction characteristics and also optimizes metal properties such as strength and dimensional stability.
