Optimization of the Properties of Materials Based on Compressed Wood Used in the Structures of Oil-Field Machinery and Mechanisms

This article is devoted to the study of plain bearings made of pressed wood, lubricated and cooled with water in order to establish the features of their calculation and design. In connection with the development of the industry that produces plastics that can replace nonferrous metals, this issue is of particular importance. In guides and plain bearings, characterized mainly by low sliding speeds, pressed wood and materials based on it are used successfully. Materials based on pressed wood have good tribological properties. Pressed wood is easily modified to give it the desired properties. It is promising for use in movable mates that operate without lubrication.
