Advantages of PTFE composite plain bearings include:

• maintenance-free operation
• very good frictional properties
• high load carrying capacity
• operation temperatues up to 250°C
• sliding velocity up to 2 m/s
• small operating clearance

Applications include:

• automotive
• material handling equipement
• home appliances and consumer goods
• textile machinery
