Oilless Bearings Benefits:
An internationally recognized standard, this product is serviceable without lubrication. Its thin, lightweight design allows for compactness and minimizes contamination risks. Primarily used as a rod guide in reciprocating applications, it features low friction and eliminates stick-slip.
Typical Healthcare & Medical Applications:
A multi-layer bushing for care beds is a type of cushioning device designed to provide support and comfort to patients who are bedridden or have limited mobility. It typically consists of multiple layers of foam or other materials that are arranged to provide varying degrees of firmness and pressure relief, and is often used in conjunction with a pressure relief mattress or other support surface. The goal of the multi-layer bushing is to help prevent pressure ulcers and other skin breakdown that can occur when a patient is confined to a bed for long periods of time.
Bushings are generally used in low speed, high side-load cylinder applications due to their low friction capabilities. Typical applications are hospital beds, patient lifts and prosthetic joints.
Sliding Bearings Solution:
Sliding bearings are utilized in various medical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology devices, primarily in rotating applications, offering cost savings.

High-Performance Self-Lubricating Bushings: Engineered for Your Needs
At viiplus.com – Optional, or keep general], we specialize in manufacturing custom sleeve bushings tailored to your precise requirements. Our product range includes industrial bushings, bronze bushings, cylindrical bushes, and split bearing bushes, with a particular expertise in advanced self-lubricating bearing solutions.
Introducing Our Advanced Self-Lubricating Composite Bushings
Our premier offering includes Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) based multi-layer composite bearings. These self-lubricating bushings are meticulously engineered to reduce friction and wear in demanding applications, providing smooth, reliable motion without the need for ongoing lubrication or maintenance.
Construction & Performance:
These advanced bearings feature a three-layer structure:
-
Backing Metal: Typically steel or bronze, providing robust structural support and facilitating heat dissipation.
-
Sintered Bronze Layer: A porous bronze layer sintered onto the backing, firmly anchoring the sliding layer and further aiding thermal conductivity.
-
PTFE-Based Sliding Layer: A blend of Polytetrafluoroethylene and specialized fillers impregnated into the bronze layer. This layer provides exceptional self-lubricating properties.
Key Features & Benefits:
-
Maintenance-Free Operation: The self-lubricating design eliminates the need for greasing, ideal for inaccessible locations or where cleanliness is paramount.
-
Superior Performance: Demonstrates an extremely low coefficient of friction and excellent wear resistance, especially under high-load, low-speed conditions.
-
High Load Capacity: Engineered to withstand significant static and dynamic loads.
-
Wide Temperature Range: Reliably performs across a broad spectrum of temperatures, from cryogenic lows to elevated highs.
-
Excellent Chemical Resistance: Resists a wide variety of chemicals, solvents, and fluids.
-
Enhanced Performance with Lubrication: Usable at higher PV values (Pressure x Velocity) in mid-to-high speed zones when initially lubricated.
-
Dimensional Stability & Strength: Offers excellent mechanical strength and dimensional accuracy.
-
Space & Weight Savings: Available in thin-walled designs (standard products down to 0.5 mm thickness) for compact applications.
-
Silent Operation: Reduces noise and vibration compared to rolling element bearings.
-
Cost-Effective: Often provides a more economical solution than traditional rolling bearings, especially considering total lifetime cost.
-
RoHS Compliant: Meets environmental standards.

For durable, long life and low friction operation
Healthcare and Medical Sliding Bushings are typically made from PTFE-based steel-backed materials, composite POM, or high-performance PTFE fabric.
Bushings are used in various medical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology devices, particularly in reciprocating cylinder applications. They can be designed as sleeve bushings, flange bushings, or thrust washers. Their primary function is to facilitate low-friction movement of the rod while supporting high loads, offering greater load capacity than plastic bushings without the need for external lubrication, thereby minimizing contamination.
