Metal-Polymer Bearings

DS
Metal-Polymer Self-Lubricating Bearings

CHARACTERISTICS

  • Self-lubricating bushings for operation in mixed film lubrication conditions
  • Sliding layer is machinable (ca. 0.4 mm above bronze sinter layer)
  • Resistant to fretting corrosion damage to the shaft under low amplitude oscillating movements
  • Similar in performance to DX® but with lower friction

Bearing forms available in standard dimensions

Cylindrical bushes                        Flanged bushes

Thrust washers                            Sliding plates

Bearing forms made to order: cylindrical bushes, thrust washers, sliding plates, half-bearings, special shapes obtained by stamping, customized bearing designs

STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION

Metal-Polymer Composite Bushing Material 
Steel back + Porous  Bronze Sinter + POM (modified)
