RECOMMENDATIONS

  1. Where steel/wood bearings are to be used under conditions of regular greasing or continuous oil-feeding then any type of timber can be used
  2. Where steel/wood bearings are to be run impregnated, or with only irregular greasing or oiling, or even under dry conditions, then African Blackwood, Msaraka or East African Afrormosia should be used.
