Sf-1wc thrust washer gasket, Thrust Washer supplier
Sf-1wc oil-free bearings are made of steel plate with sintered spherical bronze powder in the middle and rolled PTFE and mixture on the surface. It has the characteristics of low friction coefficient, wear resistance, good corrosion resistance and no oil lubrication. It can reduce the cost, reduce the size of the machine, avoid the phenomenon of shaft biting and reduce the noise and other advantages. Products have been widely used in various machinery sliding parts, such as: printing press, textile machine, tobacco machinery, automobile, motorcycle and agricultural and forestry machinery….
It is generally recommended that the tolerance of seat hole is H7 and the tolerance of shaft diameter is H8

Features

Suitable for dry running with a low coefficient of friction, low wear rate, good sliding characteristics, the transfer film created will protect the mating metal surface. Suitable for rotary and oscillating movement, high chemical resistance, lower absorption of water and reduced swelling. Also performs well with lubrication.

Structures

1. PTFE/Fibre mixture thickness 0.01~0.03mm, provides an excellent initial transfer film, which effectively coats the mating surfaces of the bearing assembly, forming an oxide type solid lubricant film.
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 PTFE-Fibre mixture.
3. Low-carbon steel, gives exceptionally high load carrying capacity, excellent heat dissipation.
4. Copper/Tin plating thickness 0.002mm, provides good corrosion resistance.
