Material
Steel ( DIN-St12|ASTM-A366/A366M-97|JIS-SPCC ) +
Bronze ( CuSn8Zn3 ) +
modified PTFE
Introduction
Dry bearings, for shock absorbers, made of low carbon steel as base material, are produced by the process of being sintered bronze powder as medium layer and coated PTFE as lubrication layer. They are in conformity with the European RoHS environmental protection standards and widely used in the applications of all kinds of shock absorbers due to the advantages of lead free, low friction coefficient, good self-lubricating and good wear resistance.
