| | Smooth, Oilless Operation
The DU Bearing is the ultimate in oilless bearing design, using lead and tetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) having excellent wear resistance which optimizes metal properties such as strength and dimensional stability. Coeffiicients of static and dynamics friction are so small that the bearing surfaces run smoothly without lubrication, while at the same time eliminating sticking and slipping. Unlike regular bearings which require constant lubrication, the DU type does away with the need for costly maintenance. It is also possible to combine them with parts totally submerged in a lubricant. |
FEATURES - The bearing surfaces have such low coefficients of static and dynamic friction that they require no lubrication.
- The operating temparature range extends from -200 C to 280 C.
- DU bearing operate smoothly under loads which exert high levels of resistance, impact, intermittent motion, and thrust.
- DU bearing are free from electrostatic induction. When installed, each DU bearing has an electrical resistance of 1 to 100 per 1 cm2 wide contact area.

- The mating surface (mounting shaft) is wear resistant.
- Service life is extended.
- DU bearings are light and thin (up to 3 mm thick), requering little space and permit compact equipment design.
- DU bearings minimize operating noise.
- Standard DU bearings are available for quick delivery.
* Non-standard DU bearings can be made to order. |
