For your consideration, exotic wood real Lignum Vitae aka Guaiacum officinale. This valuable, heavy, and durable timber is known for its durability and natural lubricants. The wood is self-lubricating from a natural substance called guaiac gum that is bound in the homogeneous fiber of the wood and is impervious to water. It releases and coats the surface of the bearing as the shaft warms the bearing. These bearings can be adjusted to zero clearance and can be used on older plants with worn or grooved shafts because the material wears into the shape of the groove. It is highly sought after for quality products including bushings, under water, salt and fresh water applications, ball bearings, pepper mills, musical instruments, goose and duck calls, knife handles, gun grips, chess parts, turnery and carving.
Lignum vitae was the main industrial bearing before World War I, and World War II placed a heavy demand on the supply of lignum vitae for stern tubes for nearly every ship in the U.S., German and Japanese fleets.
This pressure brought the supply of Lignum vitae wood to a low point, but this material remained in use in hydro power applications for another 40 to 50 years because of its longevity.
The main turbine shaft bearing made with Lignum Vitae.
