MAURER MSA®- Sliding Alloy Innovation against corrosion of structural bearings MAURER MSM®- Spherical bearing with MSA®-Sliding Alloy MSA® is an abbreviation for MAURER Sliding Alloy. A new solid material developed by MAURER with a special surface treatment. The sliding material can be used for all kinds of spherical and cylindrical bearings. Its corrosion resistance is the main advantage compared to traditional raw materials. With the new developed calotte (rotation part) for spherical structural bearings made out of the new MAURER MSA®Sliding Alloy a new generation of structural bearing with properties like corrosion free, maintenance free and with a service live more than 50 years was born. As compared to the hard chromium plated steel calottes, the highly shining MSA®-calottes display a much higher corrosion resistance and are also resistant against aggressive industrial air.  Minimum life time of 50 years  Reduction of surface tolerances  Rustless and maintenance-free  Increased corrosion resistance  Suitable for all climate zones worldwide certificated from -50°C to +70°C  European approval with CE-marking MSM®- Spherical and -Cylindrical Bearing with MSA® Features of the MAURER MSA® – Calotte Made out of one solid material element, with special surface treatment, that means, In combination with the sliding material MSM® introduced in 2003, MSA® guarantees a life time of at least 50 years. This means that also under challenging environmental conditions (moisture, flood, industrial air) no premature and cost intensive replacement of these shining calottes is required  Tolerances reduction on the calotte surface as compared to chrome machined calotte surface.  No different materials on the same calotte as compared to stainless steel covered calotte.  No chromium-plating , no cracking fissuration.  No stress differences on the calotte surface.

MAURER MSA®- Sliding Alloy Innovation against corrosion of structural bearings Features of MAURER MSA® Sliding Alloy in combination with MAURER MSM® Sliding Material Friction / temperature combination MSA® / MSM® Since its introduction in 2003, MSM® proves its superior performance even under extreme conditions. Outstanding features of MSM® as compared to PTFE are: No corrosion inside the bearing.  Lower friction between less than 1 % (at +15°C).  double permissible contact pressure  5-fold accumulated displacement  Spherical and cylindrical bearing are maintenance free, with a working...
