Bronze-Filled PTFE Bushings – Enhancing Performance
We specialize in the production and distribution of PTFE bushings infused with 40% bronze, a combination that significantly improves their performance. By introducing bronze and PTFE additives, we enhance the bushings’ creep tolerance, thermal conductivity, and wear resistance, all while preserving their low-friction properties.
When your application demands excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, bronze-filled PTFE bushings become an optimal choice. This incorporation of bronze further bolsters wear resistance within the PTFE material.
However, it’s essential to note that bronze does offset some of PTFE’s non-stick properties and chemical inertness. Therefore, carefully consider whether these characteristics are vital for your specific needs. Depending on the precise requirements of your application, you may also explore alternative filler materials such as titanium, nickel, or stainless steel, as previously mentioned.
Our bronze-filled PTFE bushings excel in wear resistance, particularly at higher pressures and speeds. It’s important to mention that these components are not suitable for electrical or chemical applications.
Our bronze-filled PTFE bushings are available in a rich brown hue with a hardness rating of 60 shore D. The composition consists of 40% bronze and 60% virgin PTFE.
We have significantly improved compressive strength, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity while also reducing the risk of extrusion. This makes our bronze-filled PTFE bushings the preferred choice for hydraulic applications, thanks to their reliable sliding and wear properties.
