SFP copper self-lubricating wear plate. Wear plates, Start Sourcing. Flat Wear Plate #500SP (SFP) from Viiplus.com, available for online sourcing, showcases superior performance in environments characterized by high load and low-speed movements.

The SFP copper self-lubricating plate, often referred to in the context of SPW thrust washers, is a high-performance component designed for applications that involve heavy loads and low-speed operations. These washers are crafted from a high-strength copper alloy, specifically CuZn25Al5, but can be made from different alloys upon request. The key to their high performance is the incorporation of solid lubricant materials, namely graphite and PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), directly into the copper alloy base. This unique combination allows the SPW thrust washers to operate effectively under oil-less conditions, providing several advantages such as maintenance-free operation, superior wear resistance, and reduced friction.

The solid lubricants, graphite, and PTFE, are inserted into the copper alloy to create a self-lubricating system capable of withstanding heavy loads and low-speed environments without additional lubrication. This feature makes SPW thrust washers particularly suitable for applications where lubrication is difficult or maintenance is not feasible. The presence of graphite enhances the wear resistance of the washers, making them ideal for applications involving reciprocating motions, oscillation, frequent starts, and stops.

Select, configure, order. … Oil-Free Slide Plates/Copper Alloy.

SFP wear plate material is made with high strength copper alloy, and the inserted solid lubricant … Oilless bush is especially applied in oil-free high temperature.

Oil-Free Slide Plates, wear plate thickness made to order.

According to the bearing’s own conditions, the combination of different metal substrates and embedded solid lubricants can ensure that the product can meet the special needs of various temperature, load, movement and media conditions, and ensure stable and reliable work.

Solid lubricated bearings are especially suitable for no oil, high temperature, high load, low speed, anti-fouling, anti-corrosion, anti-radiation, as well as in water or vacuum solution infiltration and can not add lubricating film under special conditions.

Properties

Flat Plates (SFP) solid lubricant embedded bushing is a new type made from strong brass and homogeneously embedded with solid lubricant in its body. It breaks through the limit of general bearing whose lubrication depends on oil film. So it is suitable for high temperature, heavy duty, anti-corrosion, or where oil is hard to be introduced. It’s performance doubles both on hardness and wear-friction.
