Specifications
Replace metal bearings and bushings eliminating the need for external lubrication,Carry many grades, in cast and extruded sheet
Performance Characteristics:
Excellent bearing and wear properties
Strong and stiff
Good chemical resistance
Easy to machine
Reduced noise, weight, and wear of mating parts compared with many traditional metal bearing materials
Internally lubricated grades often eliminate the need for external lubrication in many bearing and wear applications
Application: Bearings and bushings / Gears / Sprockets / Star wheels / Wear pads / Packaging machinery components / Food processing machinery components / Wheels / Rollers / Seals and gaskets
