Self Lubricating Bearings – High-Performance

POM thickness 0.30 to 0.50 mm. It provides high wear resistance and low friction. Even if there is only a small amount of lubricant supplied, the bearing surface has a circular indentation pattern and the bearing assembly should be greased.

Sf-2wc thrust washer gasket

SF-2 type material is POM plastic filled PTFE modified surface layer of the three-tier self-lubricating composite material, which is a benign boundary lubrication material, and therefore particularly suitable for high load low speed rotational movement, the rocking motion and frequently open and close under load and difficult to form hydrodynamic lubrication of bearings, thrust washer only, slider, tees and other friction parts.

The product is made of steel plate as the base, sintered spherical bronze powder as the intermediate layer, the surface is rolled by modified POM, and the oil storage pit is provided.

The plastic thickness of the product surface is 0.5mm, with good wear resistance, and can work normally under the condition of little oil or broken oil.

It is suitable for working at room temperature and low speed and heavy load place. It can replace the traditional copper sleeve, reduce the cost and prolong the service life. Products have been widely used in automotive chassis, forging machine tools, metallurgical mining machinery, engineering machinery, hydropower, steel rolling industry, and other fields.

Chemical Properties

SF-2 surface polymer chemical resistance, so its corrosion resistance depends on the steel back and the appearance of electroplating. The back surface of copper or tin plated steel, can effectively prevent atmospheric corrosion; if working in corrosive media, steel back can be galvanized and so on.

Structures

1.POM thickness 0.30~0.50 mm, it provides high wear resistance and low friction even with only minute volume of lubricant are supplied, this bearing surface carries a pattern of circular indents which should be filled with grease on assembly of the bearing.
2. Sintered bronze powder thickness 0.20-0.35mm, provides max. thermal conductivity away from the bearing surface, also serves as a reservoir for the resin mixture.
3. Low-carbon steel, provides exceptionally high load carrying capacity, excellent heat dissipation.
4. Copper/Tin plating thickness 0.002mm, provides good corrosion resistance.

POM based thrust washers

STRUCTURE:

1. POM thickness 0.30 to 0.50 mm. It provides high wear resistance and low friction. Even if there is only a small amount of lubricant supplied, the bearing surface has a circular indentation pattern and the bearing assembly should be greased.

2. The thickness of sintered bronze powder is 0.20-0.35mm. A special powdered copper composition is heat fused to the steel backing. This contact layer acts as an anchor for the PTFE layer and performs heat accumulation away from the bearing surface.

3. Low carbon steel, the base of the bushing, steel back provides excellent stability, load bearing and heat dissipation characteristics.

Typical Applications

Recommended for applications involving intermittent operation or boundary lubrication…
Automotive: suspension joints, kingpin assemblies and stub axles of tucks, automobile driving joint hinges, steering and other linkages, articulation joints, rear chassis hinges, fair leader rollers…
Machine tool building industry: spindles in drill, grinding, and milling machines, ram guide plates in multi-ram presses…
Agricultural equipment: gearbox, clutch, bale trips and wheel caster swivels for bale accumulators, front axle pivot bearings, steering idler box bearings and kingpin bearings for harvesters… It is especially well-suited for applications where lubricant can not be supplied continuously or repeatedly.
