Sleeve Bearings: The Power of PTFE-Lined Steel Bearings
When it comes to choosing the best bearing for your engineering projects, it’s crucial to consider a solution that is not only high-performing but also cost-effective and versatile. One such powerful solution is the PTFE-lined steel bearing, a product that offers outstanding durability, low friction, and a wide range of applications.
The Structure: What Makes PTFE-Lined Steel Bearings So Effective?
These bearings feature a steel backing strip layered with sintered bronze and PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene). This unique structure is carefully designed to deliver maximum performance:
- Lead-Free Polymer Fiber Mixture: Forms a protective initial transfer film that coats the mating surface of the bearing assembly. This oxide-type solid lubricant film ensures low friction and reduces wear on mating surfaces.
- Sintered Bronze Powder Layer: Maximizes thermal conductivity, efficiently drawing heat away from the bearing surface while also acting as a reservoir for the PTFE mixture.
- Steel Backing: Offers high load-carrying capacity and exceptional heat dissipation, ensuring the bearings can withstand demanding applications.
- Copper/Tin Plating: Provides the entire structure with excellent corrosion resistance, extending the bearing’s lifespan even in challenging environments.
Versatile Applications
These PTFE-lined bearings are tailored for high-duty applications, including:
- Automotive Suspension Struts: Enhance vehicle stability by providing smooth, low-friction movement.
- Shock Absorbers: Reduce the impact of road irregularities, improving comfort and handling.
- Hydraulic Cylinders: Deliver consistent and efficient movement under high pressure.
- Gear Pumps and Motors: Support smooth fluid transfer in various industrial processes.
- Axial and Radial Piston Pumps and Motors: Maintain precision and reliability under varying loads.
Comprehensive Range
We offer PTFE-lined bearings in a wide variety of formats, including:
- Metric & Imperial Plain Bearings
- Metric Flanged Bearings

High-performance lined bearings with PTFE-lined, metal-backed bushings consist of a metal shell with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating applied to the inside surface as the wear surface of the bearing. For applications involving water or chemicals, the metal shell of PTFE-lined bearings can be made from a stainless steel base. Thanks to the very low coefficient of friction of PTFE, the friction level of PTFE-lined bearings typically remains excellent throughout the bearing’s lifespan.
