PTFE lined thrust washer

The PTFE lined thrust washers you are interested in are designed to withstand heavy loads parallel to the shaft while offering exceptional low friction characteristics. These thrust washers are PTFE-lined with a steel backing, providing durability and resistance to chemicals and high temperatures.

The primary attributes of these PTFE lined thrust washers encompass:

• Capability for self-lubrication, ideal for applications requiring dry operation.
• Minimal friction coefficient and low wear rate.
• Favorable sliding traits, including a transfer film that safeguards mating components.
• Excellent resistance to corrosion and extended lifespan.
• Applicability across a range of machinery, particularly in scenarios where regular lubrication poses a challenge.

The design of these thrust washers generally consists of:

• A PTFE/Fibre blend that creates an initial lubricating transfer film.
• Sintered bronze powder, enhances thermal conductivity and serves as a lubrication reservoir.
• A low-carbon steel base that ensures robust load-bearing capacity and efficient heat dissipation.
• Copper/Tin coating to boost corrosion resistance.

These thrust washers, with their PTFE lining, are extensively utilized in the sliding mechanisms of machines, owing to their inherent self-lubricating features, resistance to wear, low friction, and overall operational advantages. They are particularly valuable in various settings where conventional lubrication approaches are either impractical or ineffective.

Straight Linear Plain Thrust Bearing, which features a multi-layered construction and is steel-backed with a PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coating. These bearings are eco-friendly and devoid of lead, boasting superior low-friction qualities without the necessity for added lubrication. The incorporation of PTFE resin enhances the bearing’s strength and ensures its dimensional stability.

The structure of these thrust bearings is segmented into three distinct layers:

Surface Layer: Composed of PTFE, this layer facilitates smooth movement by providing low friction and high lubricity.
Middle Layer: Made of sintered bronze, this layer contributes to the bearing’s strength and serves as a reservoir for lubricants, bolstering its self-lubricating features.
Back Metal Layer: This foundational layer offers essential structural support.
Employing a PTFE composite, these bearings are engineered to be compact and suitable for a broad spectrum of uses. They are self-lubricating, maintenance-free, and can endure temperature ranges from -200°C to 250°C. Such bearings are versatile, finding utility in sectors like agriculture, construction, material handling, office machinery, medical devices, and beyond.

In essence, these multi-layered, steel-backed bearings with a PTFE coating are a cost-efficient, maintenance-free option for various applications that demand self-lubrication and consistent high performance under diverse operational conditions.

Installation Attention
The installation of bearings will affect the accuracy, life, and performance of bearings. To install and make
Pay attention to the following points:
Keep bearings and their working environment clean
Use clean tools or auxiliary tools to clean the working area, and the bearings can not be unsealed until they are in use. Bearings should be kept clean. Use proper operating tools and auxiliary tools that have good plasticity and are not easy to fall off.
Attention should be paid before installing bearings
Fully check the shaft and bearing body to determine whether the mating surface of the shaft and bearing body is damaged or protruded and whether there is dust or mold sand attached to the surface of the bearing housing. In order to avoid collision during installation, the shaft And the working surface of the bearing body should be coated with a small amount of lubricating oil.
Installation of bearings.
We suggest that pressing fit mode should be used, and tools such as a hammer should not be used to directly hit the bearing end face to avoid bearing damage. When installing in small batches, you can press the end face of the bearing with a sleeve and beat the sleeve with a hammer to make the bearing evenly installed in place.
