PTFE Bush Bearings
PTFE bush bearings, developed by Poly Fluoro Ltd, are designed for environments where traditional metal bearings face limitations due to high friction coefficients and where other polymer alternatives fail under vast loads or extreme temperatures. These bushings excel with dry-running capabilities, eliminating the need for lubrication and making them suitable in situations where continuous lubrication isn't feasible and heat build-up poses a challenge. They are notable for their high wear resistance, low moisture absorption, and minimal deformation, providing a durable and long-lasting solution. With a variety of PTFE grades available, it's possible to tailor products to specific application needs, ensuring high performance. While initially more costly than metal alternatives, their longevity and low specific gravity render them economically viable over time. These bearings offer a pragmatic alternative to more expensive branded options like Rulon® or Turcite®, without compromising on performance.
PTFE Bushes are used in applications where standard metal bearings cannot be employed due to high coefficients of friction and where other polymer bearings fail due to high loads or temperatures.
PTFE bush bearings offer dry-running, lubrication-free behaviour. Our bushings provide the step from a simple plastic bushing to a proven and tested, and thereby predictable and quickly available, machined component.
- Oil-free running – an idea choice in areas where constant lubrication is not possible, but heat build-up due to friction is an issue
- Variety of grades – each grade of PTFE offers different properties. Depending on the application requirements, the appropriate grade can be selected
- Durability – high wear resistance, low moisture absorption and minimal deformation make this a choice that needs to be made only once
- Cost effective – although more expensive when compared with metal, the low specific gravity combined with the long life of the bearing makes it a very viable option economically
- Regular PTFE Bushes also offer a comparable, cost-effective solution to more expensive branded polymer bearings made using Rulon® or Turcite®.
