Metal-Polymer Bearings

DP4®
Metal-Polymer Low Friction Plain Bearings

CHARACTERISTICS

  • DP4 low friction bushings offer good wear and low friction performance over a wide range of loads, speeds and temperatures in dry running conditions
  • Very good performance in lubricated applications
  • Good performance in greased applications
  • Suitable for linear, oscillating and rotating movements
  • Lead-free material compliant to EVL, WEEE, and RoHS specifications
  • Approved to standard DIN EN 1797: 2002-02 and ISO 21010: 2004-04 (Cryogenic Vessels – Gas/Material Compatibility) for piping, valves, fittings and other components in both gaseous and liquid oxygen for up to maximum temperature of 60°C and oxygen pressure of 25 bars. Contact GGB for further details.
  • Approved to standard FAR 25.853 and FAR 25.855 – Federal Aviation Regulations – making it suitable for interior aircraft applications
