Plain bearings move heavyweight radial gates

Maintenance-free spherical plain bearings from Schaeffler were the number one choice for a new dam construction project in Vietnam. They ensure that the 19 radial gates remain moveable despite high the water pressure and weight of the lock and can be reliably opened and closed.
