Metal-Polymer Bearings

DU®

Metal-Polymer Anti-Friction Plain Bearings

CHARACTERISTICS

  • DU self-lubricating bushings offer very good wear and low friction performance over a wide range of loads, speeds and temperatures in dry running conditions
  • Bushing material suitable for lubricated applications
  • Anti-friction bearing suitable for linear, oscillating and rotating movements
  • Approved to standard FAR 25.853 and FAR 25.855 – Federal Aviation Regulations – making it suitable for interior aircraft applications

Bearing forms available in standard dimensions

Cylindrical bushes                        Flanged bushes

Thrust washers                             Flanged washers

Sliding plates

Bearing forms made to order: cylindrical bushes with non-standard lengths and wall thickness, flanged bearings, hexagonal and square bores, liner on outer diameter, customized bearing designs
