Metal-Polymer Hydrodynamic Composite Bearing
- The first polymer-lined bearing for lubricated conditions offering low friction and high wear resistance that is designed to be machined on-site for tight tolerances
- Excellent wear resistance and low friction in lubricated hydraulic applications
- Excellent chemical resistance, fatigue strength, cavitation and flow erosion resistance, and good behavior in dry start-up conditions
- A minimum overlay thickness of 0.1 mm permits, under carefully controlled conditions, machining of the assembled bore for improved dimensional tolerance and reduced geometric defects, while retaining a thin layer of PTFE sliding surface
- Compatible with most standard machining processes including turning, broaching, reaming, and milling
- Lead-free material compliant to EVL, WEEE, and RoHS specifications.
Bearing forms made to order: cylindrical bushes, thrust washers, sliding plates, half-bearings, special shapes obtained by stamping, bearings with locating notches, lubricant holes and machined grooves, customized bearing designs.
