SKF Straight bushing Maintenance-free PTFE-Pes /PTFE-Pes PWM 404840

Filament wound bushings have excellent dry sliding charateristics due to the unique sliding surface consisting of PTFE and PES fibres in an epoxy resin. The low friciotn sliding surface does not require additional lubricant. However, the presence of a lubricant offers protection against contaminants and has no negative effect.

Advantages of filament wound bushings include:

• high load carrying capacity
• accommodate shock loads and vibrations
• low sensitivity to misalignment and edge loading
• corrosion-resistant
• very good frictional behaviour
• very good electrical insulator

Applications include:

• construction machinery
• agricultural and forestry machinery
• hoisting and conveyor equipment
• offshore equipment
