Bushing Design
Cost-effective & Space-saving Plain Bushing Strip Solution
As well as for composite bushings and thrust washers, Viiplus manufactures composite strips as standard from PTFE and POM composite materials.
Plain Bearing Composite Strips PTFE & POM Material – Metric Size, Dimensions (mm): width B* length L* thickness H
Sliding strips are used for flat linear guides, or even for oscillating and rotary movements.
Plain Bushing Strips
A Composite Strips Worthy of the World’s Most Quality Plain Bearing Material
Composite plain bushing strips are designed for applications where axial space is limited, maintenance is not possible, and lack of lubricant may occur. Strips can be bent, pressed, or stamped to form flat linear guides, e.g. B. L- or V-shaped profiles or other types of dry sliding components, and suit the actual application.
PTFE Composite Strips
Steel backing with a layer of sintered tin/bronze, pores filled and covered with a running-in layer of PTFE with molybdenum disulphide additives
Standard dimensions:
- width B = 100 mm and 200 mm
- length L = 500 mm
POM Composite Strips
Steel backing with a layer of sintered tin/bronze, pores filled and covered with a layer of POM composite
Not standardized dimensions
Our growing line of plain bushing strip product is designed to meet your requirements.
PTFE composite strips are both self-lubricating and maintenance-free and offer a long service life due to their low friction. Despite their compact design, these strips can take heavy loads and are suitable for relatively slow rotating or oscillating movements. They also have good dimensional stability and thermal conductivity.
PTFE composite strips consist of a sheet steel support on which is sintered a porous tin / bronze layer 0.2-0.4 mm thick. Further, by a rolling process, the pores of the sintered layer are filled with a mixture of additives of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and molybdenum disulfide. This additional 5 to 30 µm thick lapping layer provides an optimal combination of the mechanical properties of sintered tin / bronze and the good sliding and lubricating properties of the PTFE mixture.
Improve the reliability and efficiency of plain bushing strips that keep industry in motion.
POM composite strips feature a sheet-steel backing with a 0.2–0.4 mm sintered tin/bronze layer topped by a 0.3 mm acetal (POM) resin cover with additive-filled grease pockets that must be lubricated before installation. Their compact, low-maintenance design withstands heavy loads, reduces misalignment and accommodates slow rotational or oscillating movements, making them ideal for harsh or contaminated environments where frequent lubrication isn’t feasible.
