Grease Lubrication
The majority of commercially available lubricants are acceptable
for use with Orkot®. Grease may need to be refreshed at
regular intervals to ensure it does not dry out. The use of
heavily filled grades containing a high percentage of solid
lubricants may interfere with the lubricants in the Orkot®
material. Therefore, in general the use of such lubricants is not
recommended. However it depends from the application, if
required careful testing is suggested.

Interference Fit
Within the range -30 °C to +65 °C, bushes are preferably fitted
with interference, and fully supported over the length of the 1.6

The value of interference varies with the size of the bush and
is a balance between the wall pressure and hoop stress. The 0.6
interference between bush and housing creates a wall 0.4

minimum value to ensure that the bush does not move in 0.2

The interference level also varies with wall thickness
and minimum temperature expected during operation. This interference is used with the housing and bush diameter
A typical interference curve is indicated on the graph: machining tolerances to determine the bush outside diameter.
The use of an interference fit to hold a bearing requires a

Bore Closure on Assembly

Machining Orkot®
General
Orkot®materials are readily machinable by conventional
machine shop techniques. As a general guide, methods used
for brass, aluminium or lignum vitae will apply for Orkot®
materials. It is preferable to use tungsten carbide turning tools
with cutting speeds of 5.5 meters per second. Orkot®
materials must be machined dry without the use of coolant.
Turning
Tungsten carbide tooling of the butt-welded type using K20 No asbestos is used in the manufacturing of Orkot®and the
grade carbide is suitable for most applications. If carbide material is completely non toxic. It is however advisable to use
inserts are used then aluminium grades with high positive adequate dust extraction when machining. If unavailable,
rakes give best results e.g. Plansee grade H1OT. operators should wear dust particle masks.
